PREFATORY    NOTE 

The  Editorial  Committee  have  pleasure  in  issuing  the  Fourth  Volume 
of  the  Fasti.  More  than  half  of  their  work  has  now  been  completed. 
But  for  unforeseen  circumstances,  progress  would  have  been  speedier. 
As  it  is,  the  unavoidable  delay  has  borne  good  fruit  otherwise,  in 
enabling  the  Committee  to  cover  a  wider  field  of  enquiry,  and  to 
expiscate  a  considerable  number  of  points  of  biographical  difficulty 
and  obscurity. 

In  the  first  of  the  Synods  contained  in  Volume  Four — that  of 
Argyll — the  difficulties  have  been  unusually  great.  Few  of  the 
Separate  Registers  have  been  kept  with  regularity,  the  blanks  in 
some  of  the  Records  extending  over  a  long  period  of  years.  In 
order  to  supply  information  not  found  in  these  sources,  access  has 
been  obtained  to  the  Registers  and  Documents  within  H.M.  General 
Register  House,  and  to  a  variety  of  papers  in  the  possession  of 
private  individuals.  Many  published  volumes  of  Local  and  Family 
History  have  also  yielded  their  quota,  and  the  literature  of  the 
tombstones  has  again  served  its  own  useful  purpose.  Pains  have 
been  taken  to  verify  the  information  given,  but,  as  was  said  in 
a  former  Note,  the  Volumes — dealing  with  so  vast  a  mass  of  names 
and  dates — do  not  claim  to  be  immaculate.  The  present  Volume, 
it  is  hoped,  is  as  free  from  errors  as  is  possible. 

The  Committee  desire  to  express  their  thanks  to  the  Clerks 
of  the  various  Presbyteries,  and  to  the  Revs.  James  King  Hewison, 
D.D.,  Rothesay;  Alexander  Matthew  Wyllie,  Auchtergaven ;  William 
Alexander  Macfarlane,  Dull;  Peter  Robert  Landreth,  Perth;  and 
William  Wilson,  Trossachs;  and  to  Captain  Herbert  Campbell,  for  much 
assistance  in  the  preparation  of  the  work. 

The  Volume  has  been  brought  down  to  the  eve  of  publication.

SYNOD    OF   ARGYLL 

The  Synod  of  Argyll  was  erected  by  the  General  Assembly  on  18th  Dec 
1638.  To  it  were  then  assigned  the  five  Presbyteries  of  Dunoon,  Kinloch, 
Inveraray,  Kilmore,  and  Skye.  Kinloch  is  now  styled  Campbeltown,  and 
Kilmore  we  call  Lorn.  Skye  was  transferred  to  the  Synod  of  Glenelg  in 
1724.  The  Synod  Kegister  of  Argyll  begins  at  24th  April  1639.  There 
is  a  blank  in  the  Eecord  from  May  1661  to  29th  Sept.  1687. 


PRESBYTERY   OF   INVERARAY 

[This  Court  first  appears  on  Record  as  the  Presbytery  of  Argyll.  It  is  so  styled  in 
1604.  In  1638,  when  the  Synod  of  Argyll  was  set  up,  this  Court  is  named  the  Presbytery 
of  Inveraray.  The  Presbytery  Register  begins  at  13th  Oct.  1691.  There  are  gaps  in  the 
Record  from  14th  April  1702  to  17th  May  1715,  from  27th  Sept.  1725  to  7th  Aug.  1731, 
and  from  17th  May  1763  to  27th  April  1779.    The  Separate  Register  is  very  incomplete.]

[The  church  of  Glassary  was  dedicated  to 
St  Michael.  Beside  it  a  Michaelmas  fair 
used  to  be  held.  There  were  three  chapels 
in  the  parish.  One  of  them  was  on  the 
west  side  at  Kilbride.  It  bore  the  name 
of  St  Bride.  Another  stood  at  Killevin, 
near  Crarae,  on  Lochfyne.  It  was  dedi- 
cated to  St  Stebhan,  Abbot  of  Iona.  The 
ruins  of  St  Columba's  Church  can  still  be 
seen  at  Cill  an  Iubhair  (the  chapel  of  the 
Yew-tree)  on  Loch  Awe.  At  Cill  an  Iubhair, 
which  was  once  a  village  of  some  size,  there 
was  held  a  yearly  tryst  called  Am  Margadh

Synod  of  Fife.  He  does  not  appear  to 
have  completed  his  studies.  In  a  contest 
with  the  notorious  Colchiotach,  the  parties 
are  said  to  have  been  equally  matched,  and 
Zachary  to  have  been  highly  complimented 
by  his  adversary  for  courage  and  skill  as  a

Campbell,  min.  of  Glenaray,  he  received 
200  merks  from  the  Synod  which  enabled 
him  to  finish  the  building  of  a  manse, 
erected  chiefly  at  his  own  expense,  one  of 
the  first  manses  in  the  county,  and  well 
known  for  its  "nineteen  windows."  He

after  years  of  intense  physical  suffering. 
In  1719  he  wrote:  "I  walked  only  with 
the  help  of  two  stilts,  and  since  14th  Oct. 
1716  I  was  so  universally  taken  with  gout 
in  hands  and  feet  that  I  never  stood  on 
my  own  legs  since  that  day,  nor  moved  a 
step,  but  as  I  was  carried  each  Sabbath 
to  preach,  which  I  was  forced  to  do  sitting 
on  a  chair  on  the  floor  of  the  church,  not 
being  able  to  ascend  the  pulpit,  and  yet 
I  was  helped  to  preach  each  Sabbath : 
my  hand  also  was  unable  to  write.  I 
was  obliged  to  sit  from  morning  to  even-

or  walk  one  step."  He  marr.  June  1692,

GLENARAY  AND  INVERARAY. 

[These  two  parishes  were  united  on  27th 
March  1745.  About  that  time  the  church  of 
Glenaray  was  rebuilt  at  Inveraray.  Each 
parish  has  still  its  own  minister  and  its  own 
church,  both  churches  being  at  Inveraray. 

Glenaray. — The  old  church  of  Glenaray 
was  at  Kilmalew.  It  was  dedicated  to 
St  Malew  (Maldhuibh).  Within  the  bounds 
there  were  six  chapels,  St  Fintan's  at 
Kilmun,  St  Blaan's  at  Kilblaan,  St  Bride's 
at  Kilbride,  St  John's  at  Killiain,  and  the 
chapels  of  Glen  Shira  and  Achantiobaiot. 
On  Loch  Gair  there  is  now  a  mission  chapel. 

Inveraray. — The  parish  of  Inveraray  was 
disjoined  from  Glenaray  on  26th  Dec. 
1651,  but  was  again  united  to  it  in  1745. 
At  Inveraray  there  was  of  old  a  chapel  of 
St  Beaandan.]

JOHN  MACVICAR  of  Stronmaglashan, 
said  to  have  been  a  natural  son  of 
the  preceding ;  was  educated  at 
Rome,  where  he  was  ordained  a  priest. 
After  1560  he  conformed,  and  became  min. 
of  his  native  parish  about  1566,  "dis- 
charging his  pastoral  duties  with  prudence, 
charity,  and  wisdom."  He  preached  under 
a  rock  long  known  as  the  "  parson's  pulpit," 
until  a  church  was  built.  He  was  believed 
to  have  had  the  gift  of  prophecy  and  to 
have  foretold  his  death  by  drowning.  This 
happened  at  Stirling,  where,  at  an  alarm 
of  fire,  he  fell  from  an  outside  stair  "head

SOUTH  KNAPDALE. 

[This  parish  was  disjoined  from  North 
Knapdale  on  20th  Feb.  1734.  At  Cill  mo 
Charmaig,  in  Eilean  M6r,  an  island  on  the 
west  coast  of  the  parish,  stand  the  remark- 
able ruins  of  two  ancient  churches,  both 
dedicated  to  St  Cormac.  The  older  building, 
evidently  of  very  early  date,  is  of  dry  stone 
without  mortar,  nearly  square,  and  about 
eleven  feet  long.  Behind  it,  enclosed  by  it 
and  entering  from  it,  is  a  cave  in  the  rock. 
This  edifice  appears  to  have  been  the  early 
parish  church  of  all  Knapdale.  The  later 
church  near  it  was  in  use  for  parochial 
worship  until  1734.  It  has  a  chancel,  and 
is  nearly  forty  feet  long.  Besides  these 
two  churches  of  St  Cormac,  there  are  two 
other  fine  ruined  chapels  in  South  Knapdale, 
St  Mary's  at  Kilmorie,  and  St  Columba's 
at  Keils.  At  Keils  there  are  a  fine  stand- 
ing stone  cross  and  also  St  Columba's 
Cave.  A  chapel  of  St  Constantine,  which 
stood  at  Kilchuslan  on  Loch  Gilp,  no  longer 
exists.  South  Knapdale  has  two  parish 
churches,  the  one  at  Achahoish,  where  the 
manse  is,  and  the  other  at  Inverneil.]

KILMUN  (Q.S.). 

[From  a  very  early  time  there  was  on 
Loch  Seant  (the  Holy  Loch)  a  church  of 
St  Fintan  Munna.  In  due  time  it  became 
the  parish  church  of  Kilmun.  In  1442 
Sir  Duncan  Campbell  of  Loch  Awe,  after- 
wards first  Lord  Campbell,  granted  it  a 
collegiate  foundation  with  the  ancient 
dedication  to  St  Fintan.  The  parishes  of 
Dunoon  and  Kilmun  were  often  held  by 
the  same  incumbent  even  as  late  as  the 
seventeenth  century.  From  1629  onwards 
efforts  were  made  to  have  the  two  parishes 
sufficiently  endowed  as  separate  charges, 
but  without  success.  Towards  the  end  of 
the  seventeenth  century,  however,  a  union 
was  carried  through.  It  lasted  till  the  16th 
of  March  1894,  when  Kilmun  was  disjoined 
quoad  sacra  from  Dunoon.  Kilmun  had  a 
yearly  fair  of  St  Fintan,  and  another  fair 
on  Roodmas  Day.] 

DUNCAN  CAMPBELL,  had  a  grant  of 
the  Provostry  from  James  VI.  in 
1601,  and  a  similar  grant  from 
Archibald,  Earl  of  Argyll,  1602  ;  he  granted 
a  lease  of  the  teinds  of  Dysart  in  Glenorchy 
to  Archibald  Campbell  of  Kilmun.— [Orig.

KINGARTH. 

[The  church  of  Kingarth  belonged  to  the 
Abbey  of  Paisley.  For  a  time  this  parish 
was  in  the  Presbytery  of  Irvine,  but  in 
August  1639  it  was  transferred  to  that  of 
Dunoon.  The  first  church  here  was  most 
likely  built  by  St  Catan  towards  the  end  of 
the  sixth  century.  His  name  survives  in 
Kilchatan  and  Suidhe  Chatain  (Catan's 
Seat),  both  in  this  parish.  St  Blaan,  a 
nephew  of  St  Catan,  founded  the  Celtic 
Abbey  of  Cill  Bhlaain,  whose  extensive 
ruins  are  to  be  seen  between  Suidh  Chatain 
and  Suidhe  Bhlaain  (Blaan's  Seat).  In  the

less  than  £6000,  a  church  for  the  northern 
part  of  Bute.  On  26th  June  1844  the 
parish  of  North  Bute  was  disjoined  from 
Rothesay  quoad  omnia.  At  Kilmichael  in 
North  Bute  there  is  a  ruined  chapel  of 
St  Michael.  At  Kilmorie  are  the  ruins  of 
St  Mary's  Chapel.  At  St  Ninian's  Point

St  Ninian  with  St  Ninian's  Well  near  it. 
At  Kildavannan  on  the  hill  of  Cnocdavannan

On  the  island  of  Inchmarnoch  there  was 
a  chapel  of  St  Marnoch,  which  belonged  to 
the  priory  of  Saddell.  It  has  disappeared, 
but  richly  carved  stones  have  been  found 
in  the  ancient  churchyard.  At  Kilbride  in 
Glenmor  there  stood  a  chapel  of  St  Bride, 
and  at  Kilchiarain  was  one  dedicated  to  St 
Kiaran.  St  Breandan  was  held  in  high 
honour  in  Bute  ;  but  his  name  is  now  kept 
in  mind  mainly  by  the  name  of  Kilbrannan 
Sound.  A  church  dedicated  to  St  Ninian 
was  built  at  Port  Bannatyne  in  1886.]

ROTHESAY. 

[The  rectory  of  Rothesay  belonged  to  the 
Abbey  of  Kilwinning.  In  early  times  its 
church  was  dedicated  to  St  Brioch.  A 
later  church,  built  probably  as  early  as 
the  thirteenth  century,  bore  the  name  of  St 
Mary.  Under  episcopal  rule  in  the  seven- 
teenth century,  this  church  of  St  Mary  at 
Rothesay  was  the  cathedral  of  the  diocese 
of  the  Isles.  In  1692  Rothesay  Church  was 
rebuilt  mainly  on  its  old  site.  The  chancel 
was  retained,  but  the  rest  of  the  building 
was  taken  down  and  rebuilt.  In  1795  the 
church  was  again  rebuilt.  This  time  the 
plan  of  the  edifice  was  so  altered  that  the 
old  chancel  was  left  standing  close  to  the 
new  church.  There  its  ruins  still  remain. 
This  chapel  is  thirty-three  feet  long  and 
twenty-two  feet  broad  externally,  and  con- 
tains several  finely  sculptured  effigies  of 
early  date.  The  parish  church  was  reno- 
vated in  1906. 

Besides  the  parish  church,  Rothesay  had 
a  chapel  of  St  Mary.  On  St  Bride's  Hill 
also,  within  the  burgh,  there  was  a  chapel 
of  St  Bride.  In  Rothesay  Castle  there 
was  a  chapel  of  St  Michael,  whose  ruins 


survive.  There  were  also  in  pre-Reforma- 
tion  times  chapels  dedicated  to  Saints 
Ciaran,  Finan,  Colman,  Columba,  Con- 
stantine,  Machan,  and  Mary,  and  the  re- 
mains of  several  of  these  are  visible  with 
holy  wells  close  by  their  sites. 

Until  recent  times  Rothesay  continued 
to  hold  a  fair  in  honour  of  its  patron, 
St  Brioch. 

There  is  in  the  town  a  mission  chapel  for 
Gaelic  services.    It  was  built  in  1836.]

CAMPBELTOWN  or  KIL- 
CHIARAN,  KILCHUSLAN, 
KILMICHAEL,  AND  KIL- 
CHIEVAN. 

[The  three  parishes  of  Kilchiaran,  Kil- 
chuslan,  and  Kilmichael  in  Kintyre  were 
united  in  1617.  To  this  union  Kilchievan 
was  added  in  1671. 

Kilchiaran. — In  the.  sixth  century,  St 
Kiaran  came  from  Ireland  as  a  Christian 
missionary  to  the  people  of  Kintyre.  A 
cavern  on  the  sea-shore  of  this  parish, 
called  Uamh  Chiarain  (Kiaran's  Cave), 
is  pointed  out  as  having  served  him  for 
a  temporary  dwelling.     In  after  times  it 


48 


CAMPBELTOWN 


[PRESB.  OF 


was  in  use  as  a  hermitage.  The  adjoining 
bay  was  termed  Loch  Chiarain,  and  several 
other  places  within  the  bounds,  including  a 
holy  well,  bear  the  saint's  name.  A  church, 
standing  of  old  on  the  side  of  the  loch, 
was  dedicated  to  St  Kiaran.  Of  it  but 
scanty  traces  are  now  left  in  the  ancient 
churchyard.  Kilchiaran  was  a  prebend 
of  Lismore,  and  belonged  to  the  Abbey 
of  Paisley.  In  1662,  a  new  church  for  the 
parish  was  built  at  Dalruadhan,  further 
up  the  loch.  From  its  site,  this  place 
came  to  be  styled  Ceann  Loch  Chiarain 
(the  End  of  Loch  Chiarain),  and  often 
merely  Kinloch.  At  times  Ave  find  both 
church  and  parish  called  Loch  Head.  The 
name  Dalruadhan  (Ruadhan's  Field)  seems 
to  imply  a  commemoration  of  St  Ruadhan 
of  Lorrha  in  Ormonde,  an  early  friend 
and  comrade  of  St  Kiaran.  The  township 
appears  to  have  been  first  named  Campbel- 
town in  1672,  but  the  parish  continued  to 
be  styled  Kilchiaran  until  1700.  In  that 
year  King  William  granted  a  charter, 
making  the  place  a  royal  burgh,  and 
calling  it  Campbeltown.  A  building  in 
the  town,  which  was  once  the  parish 
church,  and  is  now  used  for  mission 
services,  is  styled  Kinloch  Chapel.  Fairs 
used  to  be  held  in  Campbeltown,  at 
Lammas  and  Michaelmas. 

During  the  troubled  times  of  the  seven- 
teenth century,  many  refugees  from  the 
western  Lowlands  found  shelter  in  this 
part  of  Kintyre,  under  the  protection  of 
the  Marquess  of  Argyll.  Not  knowing 
Gaelic,  they  could  not  join  in  the  worship 
of  the  parish  churches.  Therefore,  in 
1638,  a  chapel  was  built  for  them  at 
Kilchiaran,  and  a  Lowland  congregation 
was  formed  there.  In  1655  the  Presb. 
made  this  Lowland  chapel  a  separate 
Charge.  On  23rd  Nov.  1757,  the  Lowland 
Charge  was  merged  in  the  parish  of 
Campbeltown.  Hence  it  comes  that  the 
burgh  has  two  parish  churches  under  one 
kirk-session.  The  Gaelic  services  are  con- 
ducted by  the  minister  of  the  First  Charge 
in  the  large  church.  The  smaller  church 
belongs  to  the  Lowland  Charge,  and  in  it 
only  English  services  are  held.  Both  build- 
ings are  kept  up  by  the  heritors. 


Kilchuslan. — The  ancient  church  of  Kil- 
chuslan,  a  building  about  sixty  feet  long 
with  a  chancel,  now  stands  ruined  in  its  old 
churchyard  near  the  shore.  It  was  dedicated 
to  St  Constantine  the  Martyr. 

Kilmichael  in  Kintyre.— The  church  of 
Kilmichael  was  a  prebend  of  Lismore.  It 
was  dedicated  to  St  Michael. 

Kilchievan.—  The  ruins  of  the  ancient 
church  of  Kilchievan,  a  building  over  fifty 
feet  in  length,  are  still  standing.  It  was 
dedicated  to  St  Caomhghan  (Kevin)  of 
Glendalough.  In  1617  the  parish  of  Kil- 
chievan was  united  to  Kilcholumkill  and 
Kilblaan.  In  1671  that  union  was  dis- 
solved, and  Kilchievan  was  then  joined  to 
Kilchiaran,  Kilchuslan,  and  Kilmichael.]

GIGHA  AND  CARA. 

[The  ancient  church  of  Gigha  was  dedi-

old  churchyard,  roofless  and  weatherworn, 
overlooking  from  its  high  ground  the  Bay 
of  Ardminish  on  the  east  side  of  the  island. 
The  parish  of  Gigha  was  united  to  Jura 
in  the  sixteenth  century.  In  1641  it  was 
severed  from  Jura  and  joined  to  Saddell. 
In  1659  it  was  disjoined  from  Saddell  and 
united  to  Killean.  On  22nd  Jan.  1726  the 
Commissioners  of  Teinds  severed  Gigha 
from  Killean,  making  it,  as  of  old,  a  separate 
parish.  The  island  of  Cara  is  in  this  parish. 
On  it  there  is  an  old  ruined  chapel  of  rude 
masonry,  some  thirty  feet  long,  with  its 
gables  nearly  whole.]

KILLEAN,  KILCHENZIE,  AND 
KILMALRUBH. 

[The  parishes  of  Kilchenzie  and  Kilmal- 
rubh  were  united  before  1560.  To  this 
union  Killean  was  added  in  1636.  There 
are  still  parish  churches  in  both  Killean 
and  Kilchenzie. 

Killean. — The  ancient  ruined  church  of 
Killean  is  one  of  the  finest  examples  of  an 
early  Highland  church  with  a  chancel.  It 
was  dedicated  to  St  John  the  Evangelist, 
and  belonged  to  the  Abbey  of  Paisley. 
There  were  chapels  in  the  parish  at  Kilmorie 
and  Tayanloan. 

Kilchenzie. — The  church  of  Kilchenzie 
was  dedicated  to  St  Kenneth.  It  belonged 
to  the  Abbey  of  Iona.  A  good  deal  of 
tradition  has  come  down  regarding  a  small 
early  Celtic  monastery  at  Glenbarr  in  this 
parish.  There  are  not  now  any  remains  of 
buildings  to  mark  its  site.  Within  the 
bounds  there  is  a  mission  chapel  at 
Beallachantuie. 

Kilmalrubh. — The  church  of  this  parish 
was  dedicated  to  St  Malrubh.]

SADDELL. 

[On  11th  March  1753  the  Court  of  Teinds 
disjoined  from  the  parish  of  Killean  the 
district  of  Saddell,  and  from  the  adjoining 
parish  of  Kilcalmonell  that  of  Skipness. 
The  Court  then  erected  the  two  districts 
thus  disjoined  into  the  new  parish  of  Saddell. 
Each  of  these  districts  had  its  own  church, 
and  the  parish  was  therefore  commonly 
styled  Saddell  and  Skipness.  In  1870  Skip- 
ness was  taken  from  Saddell,  and  made 
a  separate  parish.  The  parish  of  Saddell 
contains  the  ruins  of  St  Mary's  Cistercian 
Abbey  of  Saddell,  founded  about  1150  by 
Ranald  of  the  Isles,  second  son  of  the  great 
Somerled.  There  was  of  old,  within  the 
bounds,  a  well  of  St  Andrew,  and  at  Kil- 
michael  in  Carradale  there  stood  a  chapel 
of  St  Michael.  There  are  now  mission

SOUTHEND,  or  KILCHOLUM- 
KILL  AND  KILBLAAN. 

[In  1617  a  Commission  of  Parliament 
united  the  three  parishes  of  Kilcholumkill, 
Kilblaan,  and  Kilchievan,  which  together 
make  up  the  south  end  of  Kintyre.  In 
1671  Kilchievan  was  severed  from  this 
union,  and  was  joined  to  Kilchiaran,  Kil- 
chuslan,  and  Kilmichael.    Since  then  the 


two  united  parishes  of  Kilcholumkill  and 
Kilblaan  have  been  commonly  known  as 
Southend. 

Kilcholumkill. — The  ancient  church  of 
Kilcholumkill,  of  which  the  ruins  still 
stand,  was  dedicated  to  St  Columba.  It 
belonged  to  the  priory  of  Whitern.  At 
Glenadal  within  the  bounds  there  was  a 
chapel  of  St  Katherine,  with  St  Katherine's 
Well  near  it. 

Kilblaan.  —  The  church  of  Kilblaan 
belonged  to  the  priory  of  Whitern.  It  was 
dedicated  to  St  Blaan.]

island  of  Colonsay  in  the  time  of  St  Columba. 
The  Well,  called  Tobar  Odhrain  (St  Oran's 
Well),  is,  perhaps,  the  only  trace  of  it  now 
left.  There  were  also  of  old  in  Colonsay, 
chapels  of  St  Catan,  St  Kenneth,  and 
St  Mary.  On  the  island  of  Oronsay  there 
remain  extensive  ruins  of  the  Augustinian 
Priory  of  St  Columba,  founded  about  1350 
by  John,  Lord  of  the  Isles.  Its  church

JURA,  or  KILEARNADAIL. 

[Until  modern  times  this  parish  was  of 
vast  extent,  including  also  many  islands, 
of  which  nine  were  inhabited.  Among 
these,  besides  Jura  and  Scarba,  were 
Lunga,  the  Garvelach  Isles,  Colonsay, 
Oronsay,  Gigha,  and  Cara.  To  get  over 
the  difficulty  of  working  so  wide  a  field, 
the  Presb.  of  Kintyre,  on  27th  Oct. 
1702,  directed  that  "the  minister  shall 
preach  six  months  and  a  half  in  Jura,  and 
five  and  a  half  months  at  Colonsay,  yearly." 
The  parish  of  Gigha  was  taken  off  in  1726, 
and  that  of  Colonsay  in  1861.  The  church 
of  Jura  at  Kilearnadail  was  dedicated  to

(St  Columba's  Well),  and  not  far  off  is 
St  Eithne's  Grave,  held  in  honour  as  the

Kilmorie,  in  Scarba,  there  was  a  chapel 
of  St  Mary.  In  Lunga  were  St  Columba's 
Chapel  and  Holy  Well.  In  Jura  itself  there 
were  chapels  of  St  Catan  and  St  Mary.]

KILCHOMAN. 

[The  church  of  this  parish  was  dedicated 
to  St  Comman  of  Tyrconnel.  In  1618 
Kilchoman  was  united  to  Kilarrow,  but 
their  union  was  dissolved  in  1769.  In  the 
old  ruined  church  at  Kilchoman  lie  fine 
monuments  and  other  ancient  carved  work. 
At  the  west  end,  outside  the  church,  there 
is  a  stately  standing  cross,  carved  on  both 
sides  and  bearing  an  inscription.  Within 
the  church  are  fragments  of  other  monu- 
mental crosses.  At  the  north  end  of  the 
parish  are  Eilean  Naomh  (the  Holy  Isle) 
and  Aird  Naomh  (the  Holy  Headland). 
On  Eilean  Naomh  there  was  from  a  very 
early  time  a  small  monastery.  A  ruined 
chapel  still  survives.  Near  that,  on  the 
mainland  of  Islay,  is  the  ruined  chapel  of 
Cill  Naomh.     At  its  west  end  there  stands

same  place  are  various  other  stone  carvings. 
At  Cill  Chiarain,  in  St  Kiaran's  ruined 
chapel,  lie  a  broken  font  and  other  fine 
stone-work.  Other  ancient  chapels  stood 
at  Gruinard  and  Cill  Ronain,  and  at

KILDALTON. 

[The  church  of  Kildalton  was  dedicated 
to  St  John  the  Evangelist,  called  in  the 
early  Gaelic  Church  "Ian  Daltan"  (John 
the  Foster-brother).  The  parishes  of  Kil- 
dalton and  Kilnachtan  or  Oa  were  united 
before  the  sixteenth  century.  On  30th 
May  1849  their  union  was  dissolved  by  the 
erection  of  the  Oa  again  as  a  parish  quoad 
sacra.  About  the  same  time  the  church  of 
this  parish  was  removed  from  Kildalton 
to  Lagamhuilin.  In  the  churchyard  at  Kil- 
dalton the  very  interesting  ancient  church, 
a  building  about  sixty  feet  long,  now  stands 
roofless.  Before  its  west  end,  there  stands 
among  the  tombstones  a  stone  cross  about 
nine  feet  high  very  richly  carved.  A  little 
way  off,  outside  the  churchyard,  is  another 
standing  cross  about  twelve  feet  high. 
Within  the  church  are  fine  monumental 
figures  and  other  carved  stone-work. 

At  Kilchuban,  in  the  north  of  this  parish, 
is  the  ruined  chapel  of  St  Caomhan  of 
Glendalough.  It  is  about  thirty-five  feet 
long,  rudely  built  of  dry  stone  without 
mortar.  Near  it  is  Tobar  Chubain  (St 
Caomhan's  Well).  At  Kilcholumkill  there 
is  a  Well  of  St  Columba.  There  was  once 
a  chapel  of  the  saint  there,  but  his  Well 
alone  remains  now.  At  Kilbride  there  is 
still  a  ruined  chapel  of  St  Bride.  There 
used  to  be  a  standing  cross  beside  it,  but 
that  was  in  danger  of  falling,  and  was 
therefore  removed  to  another    site    some 


years  ago.  At  Kill  Lasrach  is  St  Lasrach's 
ruined  chapel,  with  St  Lasrach's  Well  hard 
by.  On  the  island  of  Texa  there  is  an 
interesting  ruin  of  a  chapel  about  thirty 
feet  long.  A  good  many  finely  sculptured 
stones  have  been  found  there. 
At  Port-Ellen  there  is  a  mission  chapel.]

KILMENY  (Q.S.). 

[The  parish  of  Kilmeny  was  united  to 
Kilarrow  before  1550.  Early  in  the  nine- 
teenth century  a  parliamentary  church  was 
built  to  take  the  place  of  the  ancient  ruined 
church  of  Kilmeny.  On  13th  May  1849 
Kilmeny  was  disjoined  quoad  sacra  from 
Kilarrow.  In  the  old  ruined  church  are 
still  to  be  seen  a  number  of  carved  stones, 
some  of  them  monumental.  There  are  also 
fine  mural  remains  in  the  ruined  chapel 
of  St  Columba  at  Kilcholumkill.  Not  far 
from  that,  at  Gill  Sleibhin,  are  the  remains 
of  a  chapel  dedicated  to  St  Sleavan,  Abbot 
of  Iona.  At  Gill  Ghilleagan,  too,  there  was 
a  chapel,  and  at  Gill  Bhreanan  there  was 
one  dedicated  to  St  Breandan.  On  Loch 
Finlagan,  an  inland  sheet  of  water,  are  the 
interesting  ruins  of  a  chapel  of  St  Finlagan 
of  Tallaght,  with  fine  stone  monuments. 

In  this  parish  there  are  mission  chapels 
at  Bunnahavain  and  Caol  Ila.]

THE  OA,  of  old  KILNACHTAN 
(Q.S.). 

[Islay  was  long  a  stronghold  of  the  Norse 
dominion  in  the  West,  and  many  places 
there  still  bear  Norse  names.  But  the 
churches  and  chapels  were  almost  all  called 
by  Gaelic  names.  The  modern  name  of 
this  parish  is  a  notable  exception.  The 
rocky,  wind-swept,  half-insular  headland 
which  forms  nearly  the  whole  parish,  is 
always  styled  by  Islay  people  in  Gaelic 
An  O,  or  in  English  the  Oa.  In  this 
name  we  have  a  survival  of  the  old  Norse 
term  0,  meaning  an  island.  The  ancient 
ecclesiastical  name  of  the  parish  is  Kil- 
nachtan,  so  called  from  its  patron,  St 
Neachtan,  the  Pictish  king. 

Somewhere  about  1830,  a  parliamentary 
church  was  built  in  the  southern  part  of 
the  Oa,  to  take  the  place  of  Kilnachtan 
Church,  which  had  become  ruinous.  On 
30th  May  1849  the  parish  of  the  Oa  was 
disjoined  quoad  sacra  from  Kildalton. 
At  the  head  of  Kilnachtan  Bay,  half-buried 
by  the  drifted  sand  of  the  shore,  the  old 
church  now  stands  roofless.  It  is  some 
forty  feet  long,  and  evidently  of  early 
date.  There  are  fine  old  monumental 
figures  within  it  and  ancient  stone  carvings. 
At  Cill  Chatain  in  this  parish  there  is  a 
chapel  of  St  Catan,  and  at  Cill  Chomhain 
is  one  dedicated   to  St   Coan.     Both  are 


now    much  ruined.      There  was  formerly 
another  chapel  at  Tocmal.]

PORTNAHAVEN  (Q.S.). 

[In  or  about  the  year  1830  a  parlia- 
mentary chapel  was  built  here.  On  30th 
May  1849  the  parish  of  Portnahaven  was 
disjoined  from  Kilchoman.  On  the  island 
called  Eilean  Odhorsa  in  this  parish  is  a 
ruined  chapel  about  sixty-five  feet  long. 
At  Nereabolls  there  was  formerly  another 
chapel.  Near  where  it  stood  are  three 
separate  burial-grounds  lying  close  together. 
Within  them  are  ancient  monumental 
figures,  fragments  of  crosses,  and  carved 
stone-work  of  the  olden  time.]

PRESBYTERY  OF  LORN,  called  of  old  KILMORE 

[The  General  Assembly  erected  the  Presbytery  of  Kilmore  on  8th  Dec.  1638.  In 
1689  the  Presbyteries  of  Inveraray  and  Kilmore  were  united.  In  May  1704,  however,  they 
were  severed  again.  The  Presbytery  Register  begins  at  14th  May  1651.  There  are  gaps 
in  the  record  from  11th  April  1661  to  31st  Oct.  1666,  from  30th  Nov.  1681  to  5th  July 
1704,  from  3rd  Aug.  to  14th  Nov.  1711,  from  8th  Dec.  1714  to  7th  July  1729,  and  from 
12th  Feb.  1800  to  24th  Nov.  1829.  The  gap  between  1681  and  1704  is  due,  at  least  in  the 
main,  to  this  Court  being  at  that  time  merged  in  the  Presbytery  of  Inveraray.  From  6th 
May  1806  to  6th  Aug.  1829  the  minutes  are  written  in  scroll  merely,  and  are  defective. 
The  ordinary  meetings  of  Presbytery  are  now  held  at  Oban.  The  Separate  Register  is 
incomplete.] 


APPIN  (Q.S.). 

[The  parish  of  Appin  was  first  disjoined 
from  Lismore  in  or  about  the  year  1650. 
Like  a  good  many  other  parochial  erections 
made  by  the  Commissioners  of  Teinds,  this 
one  fell  under  the  sweeping  revocation  of 
the  Act  of  Parliament  of  9th  Feb.  1661, 
known  as  the  Act  Rescissory.  The  effect 
was  to  join  Appin  again  to  Lismore.  On 
15th  May  1868  the  parish  of  Appin  was 
disjoined  a  second  time,  and  was  of  new 
erected  as  a  parish  quoad  sacra.  The 
present  church  was  built  in  1889.  There 
was  of  old  a  chapel  of  St  Patrick  within 
the  bounds,  on  Loch  Creran.  There  is  now 
a  mission  chapel  in  Glencreran.]

ARDCHATTAN,  on  BAILE 
MHAODAIN. 

[The  ancient  church  of  this  parish  was 
dedicated  to  St  Modan.  Hence  comes  its 
name  of  Baile  Mhaodain  (St  Modan 's  town- 
ship). In  1231  Duncan  MacDougall  of 
Lorn  founded,  near  the  parish  church  of 
St  Modan,  a  priory  of  the  order  of  Val 
de  Choux,  dedicated  to  St  Catan.  This 
monastery  gave  to  the  parish  its  modern 
name  of  Ardchattan  (St  Catan's  Height). 
Near  the  church  was  St  Modan's  Well,  and 
hard  by  St  Modan's  Fair  was  held.  In 
1618  the  parishes  of  Ardchattan  and 
Muckairn  were  united.  They  were  severed 
again  in  1649.  The  Act  Rescissory  of  1661 
repealed  their  disjunction,  and  Muckairn 
was  thus  annexed  a  second  time  to  Ard- 
chattan. It  was,  however,  disjoined  again 
quoad  sacra  on  9th  December  1846.  At 
Kilcholumkill  in  this  parish,  on  the  north 
shore  of  Loch  Etive,  there  was  a  chapel  of 
St  Columba.  At  Benderloch  there  is  now 
a  mission  chapel  of  St  Modan.]

DUROR  (Q.S.). 

[At  Kilcholumkill  in  Glen  Duror  there 
was  of  old  a  chapel  of  St  Columba.  In 
1650,  or  very  near  that  time,  the  Commis- 
sioners of  Teinds  disjoined  this  district 
from  Lismore,  and  erected  the  new  parish 
of  Duror.  In  1661,  by  passing  the  Act 
Rescissory,  Parliament  annulled  this  and 
other  proceedings  of  the  Commissioners. 
Thus  the  erection  of  the  new  parish  was 
set  aside,  and  Duror  was  united  again  to 
Lismore,  as  were  at  the  same  time  Eilean 
Munda  and  Appin.  This  state  of  things 
lasted  for  nearly  200  years.  Early  in  the 
nineteenth  century  a  parliamentary  chapel 
was  built  here.  On  9th  Dec.  1846,  the 
parish  of  Duror  was  again  disjoined  quoad 
sacra  from  Lismore.]

GLENCOE,  or  EILEAN 
MUNDA  (Q.S.). 

[The  island  of  Eilean  Munda  lies  in  Loch 
Leven  near  the  place  where  the  River  Coe 
falls  into  the  loch.  On  the  island  are  the 
ruins  of  the  ancient  church  of  this  parish. 
It  was  dedicated  to  St  Fintan  Munu, 
after  whom  the  place  is  named.  Early 
in  the  sixteenth  century  the  parishes  of 
Lismore  and  Eilean  Munda  were  already 
united.  In  or  about  1650  the  Commis- 
sioners of  Teinds  disjoined  Eilean  Munda 
from  Lismore,  making  it  again  a  separate 
parish.  About  that  time,  too,  the  church 
on  the  island  was  restored  and  enlarged. 
It  is  now  a  ruin,  about  fifty  feet  long.  By 
the  Act  Rescissory,  passed  in  1661,  Parlia- 
ment rendered  void  the  erection  of  Eilean 
Munda,  along  with  those  of  the  neighbour- 
ing parishes  of  Duror  and  Appin.  Thus 
all  three  were  again  attached  to  Lismore.

Sometime  early  in  the  nineteenth  century 
a  new  church  for  the  district  was  built  on 
the  mainland  near  the  mouth  of  Glencoe. 
To  it  also  was  given  the  name  of  St  Fintan 
Munu.  Thenceforth  services  were  again 
held  regularly,  and,  on  14th  July  1890,  the 
parish  of  Glencoe  or  Eilean  Munda  was 
once  more  disjoined  quoad  sacra  from

GLENORCHY  AND  INISHAIL 


[PRESB.  OF 


GLENORCHY  AND  INISHAIL. 

[These  two  parishes  were  united  in  1618, 
but  were  severed  again  in  1650.  This  new 
erection  of  Inishail,  however,  fell  under  the 
general  revocation  of  Church  procedure 
contained  in  the  Act  Rescissory  passed  by 
Parliament  in  1661.  Thus  the  two  parishes 
were  joined  again.  Until  1668  they  formed 
part  of  the  Presb.  of  Inveraray,  but  in  that 
year  the  united  parishes  were  transferred 
to  the  Presb.  of  Cowal,  now  called  Dunoon. 
On  12th  May  1729  the  united  parishes 
of  Glenorchy  and  Inishail  were  annexed  to 
the  Presb.  of  Lorn.  Each  of  the  parishes 
continues  to  have  its  own  church. 

Glenorchy  or  Clachan  an  Diseairt. — St 
Conan's  Mission  to  the  Picts  had  its  seat 
at  Dalmally  in  Glenorchy.  When  the  saint 
died,  they  buried  him  on  the  island  of  Inis 
Chonain  in  the  River  Orchy.  There  the 
remains  of  the  ancient  church  of  St  Conan 
are  still  to  be  seen.  To  view  his  relics 
shown  in  it,  and  to  visit  St  Conan's  Well 
at  Dalmally,  pilgrims  were  wont  to  come 
from  far  and  near.  The  Diseairt,  or  Her- 
mitage, to  which  St  Conan  retired,  gave  the 
place  the  name  of  Clachan  an  Diseairt  (the 
Village  of  the  Hermitage).  The  parish 
church  has  been  rebuilt  at  Dalmally  on  the 
mainland.  Glenorchy  had  two  fairs,  St 
Conan's  and  St  Andrew's.  There  is  now  a 
mission  chapel  of  St  Conan  on  Loch  Awe. 

Inishail. — The  church  of  Inishail  was 
dedicated  to  St  Findoch.  This  seems 
to  be  St  Findeach  of  Ath  Duiru  in 
Ossory,  but  there  was  also  a  female  saint 
called  Findocha.  The  church  belonged  to 
the  Abbey  of  Inchaffrey.  The  ancient 
building,  now  ruined,  stands  on  an  island 
in  Loch  Awe.  The  island  contained  also 
a  Cistercian  Nunnery  of  St  Findoch,  but  of 
it  there  are  now  but  scanty  remains.  The 
church  of  Inishail  has  been  rebuilt  upon 
the  mainland.]

KILCHRENAN  AND  DALAVICH. 

[The  passing  of  the  Act  Rescissory  in  1661 
caused  the  union  of  these  two  parishes. 
Each  of  them  still  retains  its  own  church. 
Until  1729  the  united  parishes  were  in  the 
Presb.  of  Inveraray,  but,  on  the  12th  of 
May  in  that  year,  they  were  transferred  to 
the  Presb.  of  Lorn. 

Kilchrenan  or  Kildachanan. — The  church 
of  Kilchrenan  belonged  to  the  Abbey  of 
Paisley.  Of  old  it  was  dedicated  to  the 
Irish  Saint  Chreathanan.  This,  however, 
was  superseded  by  a  late  dedication  to 
St  Peter  the  Deacon,  a  martyr  of  Antioch. 
When  Kilchrenan  had  come  under  the  rule 
of  the  Abbot  of  Paisley,  it  acquired  the 
additional  name  of  Kildachanan  (the 
Church  of  the  Canons).    This,  indeed,  was 


not  an  accurate  style,  for  the  monks  of 
Paisley  were  not  Canons  Regular  but 
Cluniacs.  In  the  chapter  of  the  Diocese  of 
Argyll,  Kilchrenan  formed  the  prebend  of 
the  Dean.  There  was  a  chapel  within  the 
bounds  at  Annat. 

Dalavich. — The  parish  of  Dalavich  gets 
its  name  (Bail  an  Amhaich  =  the  Field  of 
the  Neck)  from  the  site  of  its  old  church 
upon  the  narrow  neck  of  land  between 
Loch  Awe  and  Loch  Avich.  So  far  as  can 
be  made  out,  it  was  in  1649  or  1650  that 
Dalavich  was  disjoined  from  Kilchrenan. 
The  Act  Rescissory  annulled  its  erection  in 
1661,  and  then  these  two  parishes  were 
united  again.]

during  the  whole  period  of  his  life  he  was 
never  a  day  confined  by  sickness.    A  Manu- 
script Diary  of  his  father  gives  some  curious 
particulars  as  to  M.'s  settlement  here.     The 
living  is  spoken  of  as  one  of  the  "  best  in 
the  county,"  though  the  stipend  was  barely 
above  £70.     "This  was   competed  for  by 
several  ministers   of  figure,  standing,  and 
with  strong  connections  in  that  county,  but 
the  application  in  favour  of  my  poor  lad 
prevailed,  and  much  of  his  success  under 
God  was  owing  to  the  regard  for  his  sister 
Flora."     He  was  a  well-informed  writer  on 
Scottish  Music  and  a  player  on    various 
instruments.      He   marr.   28th    Dec.   1757,

LISMORE,  or  KILMALUAG. 

[This  parish  is  made  up  of  the  island 
of  Lismore  and  the  smaller  islands  adjoin- 
ing it.    When  the  Act  Rescissory  was  passed 
in  1661  it  united  the  parishes  of  Appin, 
Duror,  and  Glencoe  or  Eilean  Munda,  to 
Lismore,  from  which  they  had  at  first  been 
taken.    At  various  times  they  have  all  now 
been  severed  again.    St  Luag,  often  called 
Mo  Luag,  had  the  seat  of  his  mission  at 
Lismore.    He   died  in  the  year  592.    To 
him    the   ancient    church    of   this    parish 
at  Kilmaluag  was  dedicated.    In  Lismore 
stood  also  the  cathedral  of  the  diocese  of 
Argyll,  which  still  exists,  though  ruined  in 
part.    It  too  was  dedicated  to  St  Luag. 
The  see  of  Argyll  was  founded  in  1200  at 
the    instance    of    John    Scott,  Bishop    of 
Dunkeld,  known  as  St  John  of  Dunkeld. 
The  good  bishop,  finding  himself  unequal  to 
the  oversight  of  his  huge,  unwieldy  diocese, 
obtained  from  the  Pope  the  separation  of 
its  more  distant,  western  parts.     The  build- 
ing of  the  cathedral  at  Lismore  does  not 
appear  to  have  been  begun  until  1236.    It 
was  137  feet  in  length.    Like  other  churches 
of  large  size,  it  fell  much  into  decay  during 
the    troubled   times    of    the    seventeenth 
century.    In  1749  its  choir  was  restored  to 
form  the  church  of  the  parish  instead  of 
the  small  ancient  building  at  Kilmaluag. 
It  is  still  in  parochial  use,  and  is  fifty  feet 


long  without  aisles.  The  other  parts  of 
the  cathedral  are  now  much  ruined.  The 
Dean  of  Argyll  was  in  old  times  rector  of 
Lismore.  The  Bishop  of  Argyll  resided  on 
the  island,  at  the  Castle  of  Achanduin,  of 
which  there  are  still  considerable  remains. 
There  were  three  chapels  on  Lismore, 
St  Kiaran's  at  Cill  Chiarain,  St  John's  at 
Cill  Iain,  and  St  Andrews  at  Cill  Anriais. 
Another  place  of  devout  resort  still  keeps 
the  name  of  Ach  net  Croise  (the  Field  of 
the  Cross).  On  the  adjacent  island  of 
Bernera  stand  the  remains  of  another 
chapel.]

MUCKAIRN,  oit  CILLEASBUIG 
EARAILD  (Q.S.). 

[A  church  was  first  built  at  Muckairn 
early  in  the  thirteenth  century,  by 
Harald,  first  Bishop  of  Argyll.  Hence  it 
was  called  Cilleasbuig's  Earaild  (Bishop 
Harald's  Church).  It  became  a  mensal 
church  of  the  Bishop  of  Argyll.  In  1618 
the  parishes  of  Ardchattan  and  Muckairn 
were  united.  They  were  severed  again  in 
1649,  but  in  1661  the  Act  Rescissory  re- 
pealed their  disjunction,  and  Muckairn 
was  again  joined  to  Ardchattan.  In  1829 
a  parliamentary  church  was  built  for  this 
district,  and  on  9th  Dec.  1846  the  parish 
of  Muckairn  was  again  disjoined  quoad 
sacra  from  Ardchattan.  There  were  of 
old  two  chapels  within  the  bounds,  St 
Ronan's  at  Kilmaronaig  and  St  Mary's 
at  Kilvorie.]

PKESBYTEEY   OF   MULL 

[Donald  Munro,  Dean  of  Lismore,  writing  in  1549,  tells  us  that  there  were  then  seven 
parishes  in  Mull.  Among  the  seven  he  counts  the  two  island  parishes  of  Iona  and  Ulva, 
along  with  the  five  parochial  charges  of  Kilninian,  Kilmore,  Torosay,  Kilfinichen,  and 
Kilvicheoan  on  the  mainland  of  Mull.  In  1626,  however,  Thomas  Knox,  Bishop  of  the 
Isles,  reported  that  the  whole  of  Mull,  with  the  lesser  islands  about  it,  was  at  that  time 
administered  as  if  one  parish  under  the  care  of  three  ministers.  The  three  were  Ewan 
MacLean,  parson  of  Killean  or  Torosay,  John  Campbell,  and  Ninian  MacMiilan.  Until 
1726  all  these  parishes  formed  part  of  the  Presbytery  of  Lorn.  On  the  12th  of  May  in 
that  year  the  General  Assembly  erected  the  Presbytery  of  Mull,  and  fixed  its  seat  at  Aros. 
The  Presbytery  Eegister  begins  9th  Aug.  1729.  There  is  a  gap  in  the  record  from 
Sept.  1735  to  19th  April  1737.  This  is  due  to  an  outbreak  of  fire  at  Strontian,  where  the 
Presbytery  Clerk  resided.  This  part  of  the  Eegister  was  burned  along  with  the  house. 
Another  gap  reaches  from  28th  April  1741  to  7th  March  1744.  The  ordinary  meetings  of 
Presbytery  are  now  held  at  Salen  during  the  winter  months,  and  at  Tobermory 
in  summer.]

about  1614.  At  the  same  time  Arisaig  was 
joined  with  them,  but  it  was  severed  again 
in  1919.  There  are  still  two  churches,  the 
one  at  Kilchoan  and  the  other  at  Kilmorie. 

Ardnamurchan. — The  church  of  Ardna- 
murchan  was  dedicated  to  St  Coan.  There 
was  a  chapel  of  St  Mary  at  Kilmorie.  At 
Tobar  Fhinain  there  was  a  Well  of  St 
Finain,  and  at  Tobar  Cholmcill  there  was 
one  dedicated  to  St  Columba.  There  is 
now  a  mission  chapel  at  Achosnich. 

Eilean  Finain. — This  parish  is  named 
from  the  island  of  St  Finan  in  Loch  Shiel. 
Upon  it  the  ancient  parish  church  still 
stands  in  ruin.  It  is  about  seventy-six  feet 
long,  and  was  dedicated  to  St  Finan.] 


DONALD  OMEY,  was  min.  at  12th  Feb. 
1624.      Andrew     Boyd,     Bishop    of 
Argyll,  "  having  special  care  to  have 
kirks  plantit  with  learned  and  godlie  men

of  good  lyffe  and  conversation,  for  this  effect 
plantit  and  placed  the  said  Mr  Donald,  who 
is  ane  learned,  modest,  and  good  teacher." 
The  Bishop  hoped  that  the  adjacent 
chief  would  have  respected  him,  but  on 
a  Sunday  while  O.  was  preaching,  "thair 
cam  a  young  man  into  the  kirk  in  the 
middle  of  the  preatching,  armed  with  a 
sword,  a  targe,  and  a  hagbuit,  and  verie 
rudlie,  with  an  awful  and  fierce  counten- 
ance, addreist  himself  to  the  minister, 
handing  a  letter  from  the  chieftain  of 
Clanranald  intimating  that  the  minister 
sould  with  all  convenient  diligence  reteirr 
himself  from  those  boundes,  and  have  him 
hame,  utherwayes  it  sould  coast  him  his 
lyffe. "  O.  therefore  "was  constraynd  for 
the  sauftie  of  his  lyffe  instantlie  to  go 
away." — [Beg.  Sec.  Sig.,  xiii.,  427  ;  Craven's

DUNCAN   M'CALMAN,   was   min.  of 
Kilchoan  and  Eilean  Finain  when 

1623 

the  teinds  were  valued  16th  and  17th 
Aug.  1629.  It  is  said  that  when  he  came 
to  the  parish  his  congregation  consisted 
entirely  of  his  own  household  and  the 
beadle,  and  this  too  when  at  the  end  of 
the  church  there  was  congregated  a  crowd 
to  "putt  the  stane."  Suiting  himself  to 
the  circumstances,  he  took  the  opportunity 
of  joining  in  their  favourite  pastime,  and 
being  a  strongly  built  powerful  man, 
he  soon  matched  the  best  of  them.  By 
this  expedient  he  secured  their  interest, 
gained  their  affection,  and  in  course  of 
time  rilled  his  church.  He  was  dep.  in 
1644  for  complicity  with  the  notorious 
Alasdair  Macdonald,  young  Collciotach, 
and  was  excommunicated  1st  May  1650, 
but  this  sentence  was  removed  by  the 
Presb.  after  10th  July  1672,  and  he  was 
restored  to  his  parish.  He  probably  died 
shortly  afterwards.  —  [Teinds  Valuation

of  Coll  were  united.  Early  in  the  nine-

built  in  Coll.  On  15th  March  1865  the 
parish  of  Coll  was  disjoined  quoad  omnia

other  man.  His  conversation  was  not  un- 
suitable to  his  appearance.  I  lost  some  of 
his  goodwill  by  treating  a  heretical  writer 
with  more  regard  than,  in  his  opinion,  a 
heretic  could  deserve.  I  honoured  his 
orthodoxy,  and  did  not  much  censure  his 
asperity.  A  man  who  has  settled  his 
opinions  does  not  love  to  have  the  tran- 
quillity of  his  conviction  disturbed ;  and 
at  seventy-seven  it  is  time  to  be  in  earnest. 
.  .  .  He  has  no  public  edifice  for  the 
exercise  of  his  ministry,  and  can  officiate 
to  no  greater  number  than  a  room  can 
contain,  and  the  room  of  a  hut  is  not 
very  large.  This  is  all  the  opportunity 
of  worship  that  is  now  granted  to  the 
inhabitants  of  the  islands,  some  of  whom 
must  travel  thither  perhaps  ten  miles.  Two 
chapels  were  erected  by  their  ancestors,  of 
which  I  saw  the  skeletons,  which  now  stand 
faithful  witnesses  of  the  triumph  of  the 
Preformation."  —  [Clan  Gillean,  334  ;  A

HEYLIPOL,  or  SOROBIE  (Q.S.). 

[Tiree  was  divided  of  old  between  two 
parishes.  Of  these,  Kirkapol  included  all 
the  north-eastern  part  of  the  island,  while 
the  south-west  formed  the  parish  of  Sorobie. 
On  31st  July  1618  the  three  parishes  of 
Kirkapol,  Sorobie,  and  Coll  were  united. 
During  the  nineteenth  century  a  chapel  for 
the  southern  part  of  Tiree  was  built  at 
Heylipol,  a  more  accessible  site  than 
Sorobie.  On  15th  Feb.  1875  the  parish  of 
Heylipol,  or  Sorobie,  was  severed  again  from 
Kirkapol.  There  were  within  the  bounds 
of  Sorobie  two  chapels,  St  Kenneth's  at 
Cill  Choinnich,  and  St  Luag's  at  Cill  Mo 
Luaig.  Ruins  of  both  still  exist.  There 
are  now  mission  chapels  at  Cornaig  and 
Balevullin.]

ICHOLUMKILL,  or  IONA  (Q.S.). 

[In  the  year  563  St  Columba  came  to  this 
island,  then  called  I  or  Hi,  and  here  he 
founded  his  monastery.  In  later  times 
Icholumkill  formed  a  parish,  with  its 
church  dedicated  to  St  Ronan.  Of  that 
building  the  traces  are  now  but  scanty. 
Early  in  the  seventeenth  century  the  three 
parishes  of  Kilfinichen,  Kilvicheoan,  and 
Icholumkill  were  united.    In  1828  a  parlia- 


mull] 


ICHOLUMKILL 


111 


mentary  chapel  was  built  in  Iona.  On 
11th  June  1845  the  parish  of  Iona  or 
Icholumkill  was  again  disjoined  from  Kil- 
finichen  and  Kilvicheoan.  In  the  parish 
thus  erected  of  new  is  included,  along  with 
the  island  of  Icholumkill,  the  Eoss  of  Mull, 
a  considerable  part  of  the  mainland  of  that 
large  island. 

Besides  the  ancient  parish  church,  still 
known  as  Teampull  Ronain,  there  were  in 
Iona  various  other  church  buildings,  most 
of  which  are  now  ruined.     Oldest  of  these 
is  the  very  early  Norman  church  of  Team- 
pull  Odhrain,  a  roofless  structure  about  40 
feet  long.     In  its  old-world  churchyard,  the 
Relig  Odhrain,  lie  unnumbered  generations 
of  the  great  and  the  faithful.    A  space  by 
itself  contains  the  tombs  of  the  kings,  in 
which  are  buried  forty-eight  kings,  Pictish 
and  Scottish,  who  reigned  in  ancient  Alban. 
Beside  them  are  laid  four  Irish  kings  and 
eight  of  those  Norse  princes,  all  more  or 
less  vassals  of  the  kings  of  Norway,  who, 
ruling  in  our  western  shires,  laid  claim  to 
the  royal  title.    Here,  too,  were  laid  to  rest 
the  Fathers  of  the  Scottish  Church,  and  the 
martyred  monks  who,  like  St  Blathmac, 
fell  time  after  time  beneath  the  axes  of 
Scandinavian    pirates.      Near    St     Oran's 
stands  the  noble  church  of  St  Mary,  given 
back  to  the  Church  of  Scotland  by  the 
statesman  George,  Duke  of  Argyll,  and  now 
finely    restored.     It    was    originally    the 
church     of     the     Tironensian    Abbey     of 
Icholumkill,  founded  near  the  end  of  the 
twelfth  century  by  Ranald,  Lord  of  the 
Isles.    About  1506  this  church  came  into 
the  hands  of  the  bishops  of  the  Isles,  and 
became    the    cathedral    of    their    diocese. 
Close  to  it  are  the  ruins  of  the  nunnery  of 
St  Mary,  founded  about  1200  by  the  same 
Lord  Ranald  of  the  Isles.    It  was  built  for 
Benedictine  nuns,  but,  after  a  time,  passed 
into  the  possession  of  the  Cistercian  Order. 
The  modern  parish  church  of  Iona  occupies 
the  site  of  an  ancient  chapel  of  St  Kenneth. 
There  is  now  within  the  bounds,  in  the 
Ross  of  Mull,  a  mission  chapel  of  St  Ernan.]

Tiree.  The  ruins  of  a  later  parish  church, 
over  thirty-five  feet  in  length,  still  mark  its 
site.  After  a  time  Tiree  was  divided  into 
two  parishes.  Of  these,  Kirkapol  contains 
all  the  north-eastern  portion  of  the  island, 
and  the  south  -  western  part  forms  the 
parish  of  Sorobie.  On  31st  July  1618  the 
three  parishes  of  Kirkapol,  Sorobie,  and 
Coll  were  united.  On  11th  March  1865 
Coll  was  severed  from  the  two  parishes  in 
Tiree.  On  15th  February  1875  Heylipol  or 
Sorobie  was  disjoined  from  Kirkapol,  the 


only  remaining  portion  of  the  former 
united  parishes  of  Tiree.  "Within  the 
bounds  of  Kirkapol  there  were  three  chapels. 
The  ruins  of  that  of  St  Oran  at  Cladh 
Odhrain  near  Kirkapol  still  stand.  The 
other  chapels  were  St  Bride's  at  Cill  Bhride, 
and  St  Finain's  at  Cill  Fhinain.]

William,  Duke  of  Argyll,  Sept.  1814  ;  ord. 
27th  April  1815.  Being  in  feeble  health 
he  left  the  island  without  leave  being  given 
by  the  Presb.,  and  went  to  reside  at 
Ayr.  On  6th  June  1815  he  was  ordered 
back  to  his  parish.  A  letter  from  him, 
dated  11th  July,  explained  that  the  state 
of  his  health  forbade  such  a  step,  and 
that  under  the  circumstances  the  patron 
had  appointed  an  assistant  and  successor. 
On  7th  Nov.  he  was  again  enjoined  to 
return,  but  again  declined,  stating,  however, 
that  he  had  arranged  for  the  pastoral 
duties  to  be  carried  on  until  his  successor 
was  admitted.  On  revising  the  proceedings 
of  the  Presb.,  the  Synod,  on  7th  Aug. 
1816,  recorded  their  high  disapprobation  of 
the  conduct  of  the  Presb.,  particularly 
for  proceeding  in  such  ordination  and 
admission  without  requiring  a  certificate 
from  the  Presb.  in  whose  bounds  M.  had 
resided,  which  was  the  more  necessary  in 
his  case  as  it  was  publicly  reported  and 
generally  believed  that  he  had  for  many 
years  before  been  in  orders  of  the  Church 
of  England.  The  Presb.  was  rebuked.  M. 
had  never  been  present  as  a  member  of 
the  Court.  He  died  at  Ayr  21st  March 
1816,  four  months  before  the  meeting  of 
Synod.  [See  Hew  Scott,  vol.  iii.,  90,  for

Columba.  A  fair  of  St  Mary  was  held 
at  Kilmallie  on  Assumption  Day  in  Aug. 
There  is  now  in  the  parish  a  mission  chapel

SYNOD  OF  PERTH  AND  STIRLING 

The  Synod  Register  begins  at  the  10th  of  April  1639.  There  are  gaps  in  the 
Eecord  from  12th  April  1661  to  4th  March  1691,  from  18th  April  1753 
to  15th  April  1755,  and  from  16th  April  1804  to  19th  April  1808. 


PRESBYTERY   OF  DUNKELD 

[The  setting  up  of  a  Presbytery  of  Dunkeld  was  under  consideration  of  the  General 
Assembly  in  1581.  The  Presbytery  Register,  however,  does  not  begin  till  2nd  Nov.  1681. 
From  3rd  July  1689  to  29th  Oct.  1706  this  Court  was  united  to  the  Presbytery  of  Perth. 
There  is,  therefore,  during  that  time  no  separate  Record  of  the  Presbytery  of  Dunkeld.  In 
1651  those  members  of  this  Court  who  belonged  to  the  party  of  the  Protesters  formed 
themselves  into  a  separate  Protester  Presbytery  of  Dunkeld.  That  Protester  Presbytery 
lasted  for  some  years,  but  no  Record  of  its  proceedings  is  known  to  exist.] 


AUCHTERGAVEN   AND   LOGIE- 
BR1DE. 

[These  parishes  were  first  united  in  1618. 
They  were  severed  again  in  1632,  but  were 
united  a  second  time  in  1647. 

Auchtergaven. — On  the  lands  of  Tully- 
beagles,  within  the  bounds,  there  are  the 
scanty  remains  of  an  ancient  church  build- 
ing. Near  it  is  a  holy  well.  The  name 
Tullybeagles  may,  perhaps,  be  Tidach  na 
h-eaglais  =  The  hill  of  the  Church.  There 
is  a  mission  chapel  within  the  parish  at 
Waterloo. 

Logie-Bride. — The  church  of  this  parish 
was  dedicated  to  St  Bride.  It  still  stands 
roofless  in  the  old  churchyard.  Near  it 
was  St  Bride's  Well.]

ing a  plea  of  insanity,  was  sentenced  10th

DUNKELD  AND  DOWALLIE. 

[These  parishes  were  united  before  the 
middle  of  the  seventeenth  century. 

Dunkeld.  —  From  a  very  early  time 
Dunkeld  was  the  seat  of  a  richly  en- 
dowed Celtic  Abbey.  Like  other  well- 
known  monasteries  of  that  period,  the 
Abbey  of  Dunkeld  fell  ultimately  under 
the  sway  of  a  powerful  landed  family, 
whose  chiefs  succeeded  one  another  as 
hereditary  abbots.  Notable  among  these 
lay  abbots  of  Dunkeld  was  Creathanan 
Mac  Dhonochaidh,  who  married  Beathag, 
the  elder  daughter  of  King  Malcolm  II. 
Their  son  Duncan  came  to  the  throne 
upon  the  death  of  his  grandfather  Malcolm, 
and  his  son  Malcolm  III.  made  good  his 
title  to  the  royal  inheritance  in  1057. 
Since  then  all  the  Kings  of  Scotland  have 
sprung  from  the  line  of  Creathanan  the 
Abbot.  Alexander  I.,  the  eighth  son  of 
Malcolm  III.,  succeeded  to  the  Crown  in 
1107,  and  in  that  year  he  converted  the 
Abbey  of  Dunkeld  into  a  bishopric,  making 
Cormac,  the  then  ruling  Abbot,  its  first 
bishop.  The  vicarage  of  Dunkeld  was, 
until  the  time  of  the  Reformation,  a  very 
small  parish.  Its  parochial  bounds  reached 
but  a  short  way  beyond  the  limits  of  the 


154 


DUNKELD 


[presb.  or 


little  cathedral  town.  There  was,  more- 
over, no  parish  church.  In  the  cathedral 
were  held  all  the  church  services  of  the 
parish.  This  may  possibly  have  been,  at 
least  in  part,  a  surviving  usage  of  those 
early  times  when  Dunkeld  was  under  the 
rule  of  a  great  abbot,  and  the  government 
of  the  Scottish  Church  was  still  in  some 
degree  monastic.  The  cathedral  stands  on 
a  beautiful  site,  on  the  left  bank  of  the 
Tay,  close  to  the  river.  In  1560  it  was 
made  the  church  of  the  parish.  It  is 
224  feet  in  length ;  but  the  nave  has  long 
been  roofless.  The  choir,  tower,  and 
chapter-house  are  complete.  At  the  be- 
ginning of  the  twentieth  century  the 
choir  was  finely  restored  by  Sir  Donald 
Currie  of  Garth,  Bart.,  K.C.M.G.  In  the 
square  chapter-house  on  the  north  side  of 
the  church  the  Duke  of  Atholl  has  a  burial- 
place.  There  are  a  number  of  monuments 
in  various  parts  of  the  building,  some  of 
them  very  fine.  St  Columba  is  the  patron, 
as  he  was  of  old  of  the  Celtic  Abbey  ;  and 
St  Columba's  Well  was  hard  by,  close  to  the 
river  bank.  Besides  the  high  altar  of  St 
Columba,  there  were,  in  the  cathedral, 
shrines  of  the  Holy  Rood,  St  Mary,  the 
Holy  Innocents,  St  John  the  Baptist,  All 
Saints,  St  Michael,  St  Andrew,  St  Ninian, 
St  Martin,  St  Nicholas,  St  Stephen,  and 
St  Katherine.  In  the  town  of  Dunkeld, 
Robert  of  Cardney,  one  of  the  bishops, 
built  a  chapel  of  St  Ninian  in  1420.  In 
1510  Bishop  George  Broun  also  founded 
there  a  hospital  of  St  George.  Besides 
these,  Dunkeld  had  a  chapel  of  the  Holy 
Trinity.  On  St  Columba's  day  the  town 
kept  a  yearly  fair  in  honour  of  the 
patron  saint. 

Doioallie. — In  early  times  St  Muireach 
made  Dowallie  the  seat  of  his  mission 
work  among  the  Picts.  The  country 
tradition  has  not  ceased  to  tell  of  the 
many  pilgrims  who  used  to  visit  his  holy 
well  near  the  church.  In  1500  Bishop 
Broun  rebuilt  the  ancient  chapel  of  St 
Muireach,  and  gave  the  new  building  the 
name  of  St  Anne.  In  that  year,  too,  the 
bishop  disjoined  the  parish  of  Dowallie 
from  Caputh.  It  was  then  also  that  the 
well  beside  the  churchyard  was  dedicated 


to  St  Anne,  so  that  Dowallie  had  two 
holy  wells.  At  Guay,  within  the  bounds, 
a  hospital  was  founded  in  1340.  Farther 
north,  at  Dalcapon,  there  was  a  chapel 
with  its  sacred  well.  At  the  Crues  Hill, 
near  Dunkeld,  but  in  this  parish,  a  well 
of  the  Holy  Rood  was  much  frequented  on 
the  first  Sunday  in  May.  The  church  of 
Dowallie  was  restored  in  1818,  and  is  now 
in  use  as  a  mission  chapel.]

DULL. 

[The  parish  church  was  dedicated  to  St 
Ninian,  and  prior  to  the  Reformation 
belonged  to  the  Priory  of  St  Andrews. 
From  a  very  early  time  there  was  at  Dull 
a  great  Celtic  monastery.  Like  other 
foundations  of  that  kind,  it  fell  under  the 
sway  of  a  powerful  landed  family,  and  its 
government  was  more  or  less  hereditary. 
The  wide  estate  which  its  abbots  thus  held 
is  still  called  the  Appin  (Abbot's  Lands)  of 
Dull.  Part  of  the  old  monastic  property 
also  bears  the  name  of  Dalmonach  (The 
Monk's  Field).  In  the  twelfth  century 
this  ancient  abbey,  like  others,  was  con- 
verted by  the  Crown  into  a  Tironensian 
Priory.  Its  patron  was  always  St  Adam- 
nan,  and  St  Adamnan's  Well  was  at  the 
Priory.  The  parish  church  had,  beside  it, 
a  Well  of  St  Ninian.  An  important  yearly 
market  held  at  Dull  was  called  Feill  Eonain 
(Adamnan's  Fair).  The  parish  of  Fincastle, 
now  named  Tenandry,  was  united  to  Dull 
in  the  seventeenth  century,  but  was  dis- 
joined again  in  1851.]

KENMORE,  of  old  INISADAIN. 

[The  ancient  church  of  this  parish  was 
dedicated  to  St  Aidan.  Its  site  at  Inis- 
adain  (Aidan's  Meadow),  on  the  north  bank 
of  the  Tay,  is  now  within  the  grounds  of 
Taymouth  Castle.  At  Kenmore,  to  which 
place  the  church  has  been  moved,  there 
was  long  held  a  Fair  of  St  Peter.  A 
parish  church  was  built  at  Kenmore  in 
1579,  but  the  old  church  was  used 
occasionally  until  1760,  when  the  manse 
was  removed  from  Inisadain.  On  the 
island  of  Ealean  Adain  (Aidan's  Isle),  near 
the  east  end  of  Loch  Tay  and  not  far 
from  Kenmore,  there  was  an  early  Celtic 
monastic  foundation.  At  this  place,  on 
the  12th  of  July  1122,  Queen  Sibyl,  wife 
of  Alexander  I.,  died  suddenly.  At  Ealean 
Adain  she  was  buried,  and  forthwith  King 


is:

[PKESB.  OF 


Alexander  renewed  the  ancient  foundation, 
making  it,  however,  an  Augustinian  Priory. 
He  then,  for  the  good  of  his  own  soul  and 
that  of  his  departed  queen,  bestowed  Ealean 
Adain  on  the  Abbey  of  Scone,  of  which  it 
became  a  cell.  At  Carwhyn,  in  this  parish, 
there  is  a  mission  chapel.]

PATRICK  WILLIAMSON,  reader  in 
1574     1574  to  his  death  in  1582. 


1755 


[DUGALD  BUCHANAN,  Royal  Bounty 
catechist,  born  Ardoch,  Balquhidder, 
1716,  son  of  John  B.,  farmer  and 
miller,  and  Janet  Ferguson  (a  relative  of 
Rob  Roy) ;  educated  at  the  S.P.C.K.  School, 
Balquhidder,  and  at  Stirling.  He  began 
life  as  a  carpenter  at  Kippen.  In  1742  he 
came  under  the  influence  of  the  preaching 
of  George  Whitefield,  and  spent  much  of 
his  time  in  religious  meditation  and  the 
writing  of  sacred  verse.  In  1751  he  taught 
a  side  school  at  Drumcastle,  in  the  parish, 
and  in  1755  became  schoolmaster  at  Kin- 
loch-Rannoch,  being  appointed  also  to  the 
post  of  catechist.  He  had  remarkable  in- 
fluence as  an  evangelist.  It  is  said  that 
two  clans  who  were  at  deadly  feud  assem- 
bled to  hear  him  preach  :  he  spoke  from  a 
rock  in  the  middle  of  the  river  Gaur,  which 
separated  the  rival  parties,  and  pled  so 
earnestly  with  his  audience  that  the  people, 
overcome  with  emotion,  rushed  into  the 
stream  and  embraced  one  another,  and 
from  that  day  forward  a  "  truce  of  God  " 
existed  between  the  two  clans.  In  the 
General  Assembly  of  1761  it  was  reported 
that  "  the  country  of  Rannoch  from  being 
possessed  by  the  most  lawless  and  thievish 
people,  is  now  becoming  greatly  civilised, 
and  no  thefts  or  robberies  are  heard  of 
among  the  inhabitants,  2000  in  number." 
He  assisted  James  Stuart,  min.  of  Killin, 
in  publishing  the  first  edition  of  the  Gaelic 
New  Testament.  For  this  purpose  he  went 
to  Edinburgh — to  supervise  the  printing — 
and  while  there  he  took  classes  in  the 
University  and  founded  the  first  Gaelic 
congregation  in  the  city.  A  movement  was 
set  on  foot  for  his  ordination,  but  the 
Presb.  refused  consent.  While  attending 
to  his  wife  and  family,  who  had  been 
stricken  with  an  epidemic  fever  at  Ran- 
noch, he  caught  the  infection  and  died 
2nd  June  1768.  He  was  buried  at  Little 
Leny,  Balquhidder.  On  17th  Nov.  1875  a 
handsome  monument  was  erected  to  his 
memory  at  Kinloch-Rannoch.  Known  as 
the  "Cowper  of  the  Highlands,"  B.'s 
poetical  genius  was  of  the  first  order,  and 
some  of  his  poems — "The  Day  of  Judg- 
ment," "  The  Dream,"  "  The  Skull,"  "  The 
Sufferings     of     Christ,"    and     "Winter,"

[The  church  of  Weem  was  dedicated  to 
St  Cuthbert,  and  beside  it  was  St  Cuth- 
bert's  Well.  The  quaint  old  church  still 
stands,  but  is  used  now  only  as  a  place  of 
burial.  There  are  some  very  interesting 
monuments  in  it.  Besides  the  church,  there 
was  at  Weem  a  famous  Chapel  of  St  David, 
a  local  hermit,  whose  cave  and  holy  well 
were  frequented  by  pilgrims.  The  yearly 
tryst  of  Weem  was  called  in  his  honour, 
Feill  Dhaidh  (David's  Fair).  On  5th  July 
1921  a  decree  transporting  the  church  to 
a  building  formerly  used  as  an  Episcopal 
Chapel  was  pronounced  by  Court  of  Teinds.]

PRESBYTERY  OF  PERTH 

[The  erection  of  a  Presbytery  of  Perth  was  under  the  consideration  of  the  General 
Assembly  as  early  as  April  1581.  The  Presbytery  Register,  however,  does  not  now 
begin  till  22nd  April  1618.  There  are  gaps  in  the  Record  from  27th  March  1661  to 
29th  Oct.  1662,  and  from  21st  Sept.  1681  to  30th  July  1690.  An  earlier  volume  than  any 
of  those  extant  began  in  1595.  It  was  in  the  hands  of  the  Presbytery  Clerk  on 
15th  March  1626,  but  no  trace  of  it  can  now  be  found.]

possession  of  the  church,  and  to  make  it 
impossible  to  hold  Protestant  services. 

Dupplin. — In  1564  it  was  reported  to  the 
Secret  Council  that  the  kirk  of  the  Rectory 
of  Dupplin  was  kept  closed,  so  that  the 
Reformed  worship  could  not  be  held  there.]

[PRESB.  OF 


ABERNETHY,  of  old  OBAIR

[The  church  of  Abernethy  was  dedicated 
to  St  Bride.  It  belonged  to  the  Abbey 
of  Arbroath.  In  1460  George,  Earl  of 
Angus,  granted  to  this  church  a  collegiate 
endowment.  From  early  Pictish  times 
Abernethy  was  the  seat  of  a  great  Celtic 
Abbey.  The  high,  round  tower  of  this 
monastery,  standing  by  itself  in  the  church- 
yard, and  looking  over  the  church,  is  one 
of  our  most  interesting  early  buildings. 
In  1273  the  abbey  was  converted  into  an 
Augustinian  Priory,  and  was  made  a  Cell 
of  Inchaffray,  retaining,  however,  its  ancient 
dedication  to  St  Bride.  There  is  in  this 
parish  a  Well  of  St  Breandan.]

PERTH,  ST  JOHN'S. 

[St  John's,  Perth,  called  for  a  time  the 
parish  of  St  Johnstoun. — The  church  of 
Perth  was  dedicated  to  St  John  the  Baptist, 
and  the  town  itself  was  long  known  as  St 
Johnstoun.  Its  ancient  Celtic  name  of 
Perth  was  then  seldom  heard  except  among 
those  who  spoke  Gaelic.  The  church 
belonged  to  the  Abbey  of  Dunfermline. 
Prior  to  1603,  Perth  was  a  favourite  place 
of  royal  residence.  Its  name  is  often  seen 
on  the  pages  of  Scottish  history.  In  this 
prominence  St  John's  Church  has  a  share. 
In  1296  the  English  king,  Edward  I., 
stayed  for  some  time  at  Perth.  On  St 
John's  Day  in  Harvest,  he  was  one  of  the 
worshippers  in  the  church. 

In  medieval  times,  Perth  was  long  the 
chief  seat  of  monastic  life  and  influence  in 
Scotland.  The  friars  in  especial  had 
much  power  there.  In  Perth,  as  elsewhere 
during  the  sixteenth  century,  popular 
feeling  came  to  be  keenly  hostile  to  the 
friars.  Thus  Perth  was  made  a  battle- 
ground of  the  Reformation  struggle.  In 
1407,  James  Resby,  an  English  priest,  and 
probably  a  refugee  from  the  rising  Lollard 
persecution  in  England,  was  tried  for 
heresy  and  burned  at  Perth.  On  one  day 
in  1544,  five  of  the  citizens  of  St  Johnstoun, 
and  the  wife  of  one  of  them,  were  executed 
there  as  heretics,  the  men  being  hanged 
and  the  woman  drowned.  So  the  strife 
was  kept  up.  On  the  10th  of  May  1559  it 
came  to  a  head.     In  St  John's  Church  that

morning,  a  sermon  on  image  worship  and 
other  prevalent  religious  practices  was 
preached  by  John  Knox.  His  hearers 
were  moved  indeed,  but  the  service  came 
quietly  to  an  end,  and  the  preacher  went 
his  way.  Later  in  the  day,  during  a  service 
before  one  of  the  altars  of  the  church, 
some  brawling  took  place.  Quickly  a  riot 
arose,  and  the  church  furnishings  were 
badly  damaged.  Forthwith  the  outbreak 
spread  throughout  the  town,  and  was 
turned  with  great  violence  against  the 
friars.  Thus,  as  from  a  chance  spark, 
there  was  kindled  in  Perth  a  flame  that 
soon  set  the  whole  land  ablaze. 

In  1618  the  General  Assembly  met  at 
Perth.  Some  of  its  meetings,  probably 
all  of  them,  were  held  in  St  John's 
Church. 

Here,  as  in  other  Scottish  towns,  the 
population  has  grown  greatly,  and  more 
or  less  steadily,  since  the  middle  of  the 
sixteenth  century.  In  1595  this  growth 
led  to  the  erection  of  a  Second  Charge  in 
the  ministry  of  Perth.  But  the  burden  of 
a  prosperous  community  went  on  growing. 
Therefore  it  was  proposed  to  erect  the  land- 
ward district  of  Perth  into  a  separate 
parish.  In  1651,  however,  when  this 
scheme  had  been  fully  matured,  the  Town 
Council  found  itself  compelled  to  delay 
further  action  in  the  matter  "because  of 
the  troubles  of  the  times."  The  subject 
was  taken  up  again  in  1693,  and  at  later 
dates,  but  without  reaching  a  practical 
result.  On  14th  February  1715  action  of 
another  kind  was  taken.  The  Town 
Council,  "  because  of  the  growing  numbers 
of  the  inhabitants  of  the  town  and  parish," 
resolved  that  a  Third  Charge  should  be 
erected.  This  was  carried  out,  and  William 
Wilson  was  appointed  minister.  No  endow- 
ment was  raised  for  the  purpose,  but 
the  stipend  was  provided  by  a  yearly 
payment  from  the  city  funds.  In  1740 
Mr  Wilson  ceased  to  be  a  minister  of  the 
Church  of  Scotland,  and  in  1741  the  Town 
Council,  alleging  that  a  third  minister  of 
Perth  was  no  longer  needed,  withdrew  its 
grant  for  payment  of  the  stipend.  In  lieu 
of  the  minister  of  the  Third  Charge,  an 
ordained   assistant   to   the    incumbents  of 


the  First  and  Second  Charges  was  main- 
tained by  the  Kirk-session,  and  so  the  work 
of  the  parish  was  carried  on. 

During  the  eighteenth  century  the  need 
of  accommodation  for  the  worshipping 
parishioners  grew  more  and  more  urgent. 
As  a  sort  of  stop-gap,  in  1715  St  John's 
Church  was  partitioned  off  into  two  places 
of  worship,  termed  the  Old  and  the  New 
Churches.  When  these  failed  to  hold  the 
people,  the  ancient  church  was  further 
divided  into  three  parts,  called  the  East, 
the  Middle,  and  the  West  Churches.  The 
method  adopted  for  public  worship  was 
curious.  Each  of  the  three  ministers,  in 
turn,  conducted  service  successively  in  each 
of  the  three  churches.  Thus  a  constant 
rotation  of  ministry  was  kept  up.  This 
system  lasted  till  1806.  Then,  because  of 
the  growing  number  of  those  for  whom  no 
room  could  be  found  in  St  John's,  the 
Town  Council  resolved  to  suppress  the 
Second  Charge,  to  build  a  new  church,  and 
to  call  a  fourth  minister.  Accordingly,  St 
Paul's  Church  was  built  in  1807.  The  Second 
Charge  having  come  to  an  end,  three  new 
parochial  districts  were  taken  off  St  John's 
Parish.  These  were  the  Middle  Parish,  the 
West  Parish,  and  St  Paul's.  The  eastern 
part  of  the  ancient  church  was  left  in 
the  possession  of  the  remaining  portion  of 
St  John's  Parish.  This  included  a  great 
part  of  the  city,  with  all  the  large  landward 
district.  It  has  come  to  be  commonly 
called  the  East  Parish  of  Perth. 

St  John's  Church  is  a  building  worthy  of 
its  historic  parish.  It  is  rather  less  than 
200  feet  long,  but  of  old  it  was  somewhat 
larger.  There  were  many  altars  in  it, 
including  shrines  of  the  Holy  Trinity,  the 
Holy  Name,  St  Mary,  St  Joseph,  St 
Gabriel,  St  Michael,  St  Peter,  St  Bartholo- 
mew, St  Nicholas,  St  Eloi,  St  Ninian,  St

PERTH,  ST  JOHN'S 


[PllESB.  OF 


Magdalene,    St    Barbara,  St    Denys,  and 
St  Christopher. 

Medieval  Perth  was  in  great  measure  a 
town  of  priests  and  monks.  The  oldest 
and  most  famous  of  its  convents  was  the 
House  of  the  Black  Friars,  founded  in 
1231  by  King  Alexander  II.  It  was  built 
a  short  way  outside  the  walls,  and  was 
dedicated  to  St  John  and  St  James.  It 
was  much  favoured  as  a  royal  residence. 
There  were  times  too  when  the  king's 
enemies  occupied  it.  It  was  in  the  House 
of  the  Black  Friars,  on  the  24th  of  July 
1291,  that  Edward  I.  of  England  received 
the  homage  of  the  city  of  Perth,  and  of  the 
chief  men  of  the  country  round.  In  this 
religious  house,  on  the  21st  of  February 
1437,  King  James  I.  was  murdered.  There 
were  notable  monuments  in  its  church  over 
those  who  lay  buried  there,  among  them  the 
tomb  of  Elizabeth  Mure,  the  first  wife  of 
Robert  II.  In  that  church,  too,  there  were 
chapels  of  St  John  the  Evangelist  and  St 
Nicholas.  Some  way  off,  but  also  close 
to  the  city  walls,  stood  the  Priory  of  the 
Charterhouse,  founded  in  1429  by  James  I. 
and  his  Queen  Joanna  Beaufort.  They 
both  were  buried  in  its  church.  There  too, 
in  1541,  were  laid  the  remains  of  Queen 
Margaret  Tudor,  widow  of  James  IV. 
With  the  exception  of  the  small  Priory  of 
Mackerston,  this  great  monastery  was  the 
only  convent  of  the  Carthusians  in  Scotland. 
After  the  quaint  manner  of  their  Order, 
they  termed  it  the  House  of  the  Valley  of 
Virtue.  On  the  other  side  of  Perth,  but 
just  outside  of  the  town,  and  by  the  side 
of  the  Tay,  stood  the  House  of  the  Grey 
Friars,  founded  in  1460  by  Laurence,  first 
Lord  Oliphant.  In  accordance  with  the 
strict  rules  of  the  Observantine  Branch  of 
the  Order,  to  which  it  belonged,  it  was 
quite  a  plain  building,  and  was  of  but 
moderate  size.  A  larger  and  more  ornate 
edifice  was  the  House  of  the  White  Friars, 
built  by  Alexander  III.  in  1262.  It  was 
placed  at  Tullilum  in  the  landward  part  of 
the  parish,  and  was  less  than  a  mile  from 
Perth. 

There  were  also  in  this  parish,  partly  in 
the  town  and  partly  outside  of  it,  various 
religious  houses  of  a  smaller  kind.     At  the 


end  of  the  Bridge  of  Perth,  on  the  town 
side  of  the  Tay,  was  the  chapel  of  St  Mary. 
It  was  already  there  in  1210.  Outside  the 
town,  and  about  a  mile  to  the  south  of  it, 
stood  the  Hospital  of  St  Magdalene, 
worked  by  a  little  community  of  nuns. 
Nearer  Perth  was  St  Leonard's  Hospital 
and  Priory,  a  Cistercian  House.  Not  far 
from  it  stood  the  chapel  of  St  Laurence. 
Between  it  and  St  John's  Church  there 
was  the  Hospital  of  St  Anne.  In  the 
heart  of  the  city  stood  the  chapel  of  the 
Holy  Rood.  There  too  was  St  Paul's 
Hospital,  built  in  1434.  On  the  north  side 
of  Perth,  at  the  place  called  the  Claypots, 
stood  the  Hospital  of  St  Katherine  and 
the  chapel  of  Our  Lady  of  Loretto,  in 
which  were  altars  of  St  Nicholas  and  St 
Katherine. 

To  keep  in  mind  the  birth  of  its  patron 
saint,  Perth  held  the  fair  of  St  John  in 
Harvest.  By  the  fair  of  Midsummer  Day 
it  commemorated  his  martyrdom.  So  far 
back  as  1442,  the  Midsummer  Tryst  was  a 
leading  event  of  the  year.  Four  other 
fairs  were  annually  observed — Our  Lady 
Day  in  Lentron,  being  the  Feast  of  the 
Annunciation,  Palm  Sunday,  Andrew  mas 
Fair,  and  the  Tryst  of  St  Denys. 

On  27th  Oct.  1921,  a  summons  was  pre- 
sented to  the  Court  of  Teinds  by  the  Lord. 
Provost,  Magistrates,  and  Councillors  of 
Perth  as  heritors  of  the  parish,  in  which 
they  stated  that  it  is  highly  expedient  that 
the  Church  of  St  John  should  be  restored, 
and  they  outlined  a  scheme  whereby  the 
existing  parishes,  East,  Middle,  and  West, 
should  be  disjoined  and  erected  into  two 
parishes — namely,  the  parish  of  St  John 
and  the  parish  of  St  Mark.  The  former 
is  to  embrace  the  building  known  as  the 
Church  of  St  John  the  Baptist,  and  the 
latter  the  existing  Chapel  of  Ease,  St 
Mark's  Church. 

The  existing  East,  Middle,  and  West 
Churches  will  be  combined  into  one  church 
in  the  present  building  as  restored,  and  the 
present  ministers  of  the  East  and  Middle 
parishes  will  become  the  ministers  of  St 
John's  Parish,  while  the  present  minister  of 
the  West  Church  will  become  the  first 
minister  of  St  Mark's  Parish.]

remained  seven  or  eight  years  ;  Licentiate 
of    Laws    (20th    Feb.    1556),    and    LL.D. 
Padua.     The  fame  of  his  talents  and  learn- 
ing led  to  his  intimacy  with  Pope  Paul 
IV.  and  some  of  the  cardinals,  and  would 
probably  have  led  to  his  promotion ;  but 
owing  to  ill-health  he  was   compelled  to 
return  to  Scotland,  when  he  was  appointed 
nuncio   to   investigate  the  causes   of    the 
Reformation  and  to  devise  means  for  check- 
ing its  progress.    He  reached  Eyemouth  on 
29th  Sept.  1558,  but  finding  himself  unable 
to  fulfil  his  injunctions,  returned  to  Rome 
before  11th  May  1559.     After  a  short  resi- 
dence there,  he  came  back  by  persuasion  of 
James,  Prior  of  St  Andrews,  afterwards 
Earl  of  Moray,  and  having  seen  the  false- 
hood and  imposition  of  a  pretended  miracle 
at  St  Allaret's    Chapel,  Musselburgh,    he 
joined   the    Reformers.    He  was  adm.  to 
Kennoway  in  April  1560,  before  the  Re- 
formation was  fully  established ;  was  one

Oct.    1580,   at    which    time    he    held    the 
vicarages    of     Twynholm    and    Terregles 
in  Galloway.      He  was  "  a  cautious  and 
prudent    reformer,     of    moderate    views, 


benevolent  disposition,  and  amiable  and 
winning  manners,  a  wise  and  grave  father, 
of  good  literature  according  to  the  time." 
He  was  skilled  in  the  original  languages  of 
Scripture,  and  did  much  towards  building 
up  the  Reformed  Church  in  Scotland.  He

gentleman  who,  by  devoting  his  leisure 
hours  to  geology,  has  extended  the  know-

[The  church  of  this  parish  was  dedicated 
to  St  Monenna.  It  belonged  to  the  ancient 
and  famous  Abbey  of  Scone  which  stood 
in  this  parish.  Originally  an  early  Celtic 
monastery,  it  was  founded  anew  as  an 
Augustinian  Abbey  by  Alexander  I.  in 
1114.  It  was  then  re-dedicated  of  new 
to  the  Holy  Trinity,  St  Mary,  St 
Michael,  St  John,  St  Laurence,  and  St 
Augustine.  In  early  times  Scone  was  a 
Pictish  stronghold.  In  its  Abbey  Pictish 
Kings  and  their  Scottish  successors  of  the 
race  of  Kenneth  MacAlpin  were  proclaimed, 
and  invested  with  sovereign  power.  At  a 
later  date,  when  Macbeth  and  Lulach 
had  both  been  overthrown,  Malcolm  III. 


was  crowned  at  Scone  on  25th  April 
1058.  The  following  among  his  successors 
were  likewise  crowned  at  Scone— Malcolm 
IV.,  William  the  Lion,  Alexander  II., 
Alexander  III.,  John  Baliol,  Robert  the 
Bruce,  Edward  Baliol,  Robert  II.,  Robert 
III.,  James  I.,  James  IV.,  and  Charles  II. 
Many  meetings  of  Parliament  and  other 
royal  functions  were  held  at  Scone  Abbey. 
Here  long  reposed  the  famous  stone  Lia 
Fail,  now  at  Westminster.  In  the  Abbey 
Church  King  Robert  II.  was  buried  on 
13th  Aug.  1390.  A  new  church  was  built 
at  New  Scone  in  1804-5.  It  is  constructed 
almost  entirely  from  the  material  of  a 
church  erected  only  twenty  years  before, 
the  stones  marked  and  numbered  as  they 
were  taken  down,  being  put  up  in  the  same 
order.  The  oak  pew  of  the  Scone  family, 
bearing  the  date  1616,  was  brought  from 
Holland,  and  upon  it  Charles  II.  was 
crowned  in  1651. 

There  is  now  in  the  parish  of  Scone  a 
mission  chapel  of  St  David.]

PRESBYTERY  OF  AUCHTERARDER 


[In  April  1581  the  General  Assembly  had  under  consideration  a  proposal  to  erect  at 
Crieff  a  Presbytery  for  this  district.  In  1593,  however,  we  find  the  court  seated  at 
Dunblane.  In  that  year  the  Assembly  caused  it  to  be  removed  to  Auchterarder.  In  the 
seventeenth  century  the  place  of  meeting  was  changed  to  Muthill ;  but,  after  a  few  years, 
the  court  was  brought  back  to  Auchterarder.  The  Register  of  Presbytery  begins  at 
29th  April  1668.  There  is  a  gap  in  the  Record  from  7th  Sept.  1687  to  9th  Nov.  1703. 
It  is  believed  that  some  of  the  earlier  Records  of  the  Presbytery  may  yet  exist  in  private 
hands.]

AUCHTERARDER  AND

[These  parishes  were  united  about  the 
beginning  of  the  seventeenth  century. 

Auchterarder. — The  church  of  Auchter- 
arder, founded  in  1200,  was  dedicated  to 
St  Kessog.  It  belonged  to  the  Abbey  of 
Inchaffray.  The  old  parish  church,  now 
ruined,  is  a  building  over  80  feet  in  length. 
Beside  it  is  St  Kessog's  Well.  There  was 
of  old,  in  the  town  of  Auchterarder,  a 
chapel  of  St  Mary.  It  has  been  rebuilt, 
and  is  now  the  parish  church.  Beside  the 
old  church  a  fair  of  St  Kessog  was  long 
held  on  10th  March. 

Aberuthven. — The  church  of  Aberuthven 
was  dedicated  to  St  Catan,  whose  festival 
was  held  on  17th  May.  It  belonged  to  the 
Abbey  of  Inchaffray,  but  later  to  the  Abbey 
of  Arbroath.  The  old  church,  now  roofless, 
and  partly  ruined,  is  over  65  feet  long.]

[A  fair  of  St  Laurence  was  held  at 
Monzie,  and  it  is  believed  that  the  parish 
church  was  dedicated  to  him.  Monzie  was 
a  prebend  of  Dunblane.  In  September,  on 
Our  Lady  Day  in  Harvest,  a  fair  of  St 
Mary  was  held  here.  In  this  parish  are 
still  to  be  seen  the  very  scanty  ruins  of  the 
collegiate  church  of  St  Mary  at  Inner- 
peffray.  That  church  was  built  before 
1342.  Its  collegiate  foundation  was  granted 
by  John,  first  Lord  Drummond,  in  1508. 
There  are  ancient  burial-grounds  in  the 
parish  of  Monzie  at  Tomanbowie  and  at 
Stuck.  In  both  there  were  chapels  of  old, 
but  these  have  long  since  fallen  down.]

July  1681  and  1st  April  1682  for  im- 
morality ;  condemned  to  death  for  murder- 
ing his  child,  whose  remains  were  found 
under  a  hearthstone  in  the  house.  Exe- 
cuted at  Crieff  soon  after  6th  June  1682, 
aged  about  35 ;  a  reprieve  arrived  twenty 
minutes  afterwards.  This  is  believed  to  be 
the  historical  fact  underlying  the  well- 
known  popular  rhyme,  erroneously  attri- 
buted to  Little  Dunkeld — 

"  O  what  a  parish,  sic  a  terrible  parish, 
O  what  a  parish  is  that  of  Kinkell ! 
They  hae  hangit  the  minister,  drooned  the  precentor, 
Dang  doon  the  steeple,  and  drucken  the  bell." 

Tradition  asserts  that  the  precentor  was 
accidentally  drowned  while  trying  to  ford 
the  Earn  at  Kinkell.  The  bell  of  the  church, 
for  some  reason,  was  sold,  and  not  long 
since  was  found  to  be  in  possession  of  the 
church  of  Cockpen. — [P.C.  Acta,  4th  May

PRESBYTERY   OF   STIRLING 

[The  Presbytery  Register  of  Stirling  begins  at  8th  Aug.  1581,  and  is  thus  the  earliest 
Record  of  the  kind  now  existing.  There  are  gaps  in  the  Record  from  19th  May  1584  to 
21st  June  1586,  from  15th  Oct.  to  20th  Dec.  1615,  from  24th  July  1616  to  22nd 
Feb.  1627,  from  2nd  April  1640  to  21st  Nov.  1654,  and  from  14th  May  1688  to  14th 
April  1693.  A  volume,  containing  part  of  the  Record  awanting,  was  extant  on  16th 
Aug.  1665,  but  had  gone  amissing  by  the  2nd  of  May  1744.  It  is  not  now  known  to  exist. 
It  held  the  Minutes  of  Presbytery  from  17th  Dec.  1617  to  15th  Sept.  1625.  The  Protester 
party  in  this  Presbytery  withdrew  in  1651,  and  set  up  a  Protester  Presbytery  of  Stirling. 
No  Record  of  its  proceedings,  however,  is  known  to  survive.]

[The  vicarage  of  Airth  belonged  to  the 
Abbey  of  Holyrood.  Its  ancient  parish 
church,  now  ruined,  was  dedicated  to  St 
Peter.  It  is  about  80  feet  long,  and  con- 
tains a  number  of  interesting  monuments. 
A  mineral  spring  in  the  parish  was  called 
Our  Lady's  Well.  A  fair  of  St  Peter  was 
held  at  Airth.]

daughter  afterwards  sold  for  £20,000.  He 
made  a  fortune  by  acting  as  a  banker,  being 
styled  "The  Baron."  On  one  occasion, 
when  suspicion  arose  that  payment  of  the 
deposits  was  doubtful,  and  a  run  on  his 
funds  seemed  probable,  he  contrived  to 
have  his  room  ranged  round  with  pewter 
stoups,  apparently  filled  with  gold  and 
silver  coins,  so  that  the  first  who  called 
with  his  demand,  being  immediately  paid 
and  seeing  the  apparent  abundance  of 
funds,  begged  the  minister  to  retain  his 
money  for  him,  and  on  leaving  circulated 
the  report  that  there  were  ample  funds  in 
store,  which  prevented  further  annoyance. 
He  bequeathed  300  merks  to  the  poor  of  the 
parish.  He  marr.  20th  Oct.  1737,  Sophia

ST    NINIANS,    FORMERLY 

EAGLAIS  NINIAN. 

[Called  of  old  Eaglais  Niniain.  The 
church  of  this  parish  was  dedicated  to 
St  Ninian.  It  belonged  to  the  Abbey  of 
Cambuskenneth.  There  is  a  Well  of  St 
Ninian  in  the  parish.  It  was  mainly 
within  the  bounds  of  St  Ninians  that  the 
Battle  of  Bannockburn  was  fought  in  1314. 
Here  too,  in  1448,  took  place  a  great  part 
of  the  contest  at  the  Battle  of  Sauchieburn. 
When  King  James  III.  fled  from  that  field, 
his  horse  threw  him  at  Milton  in  this 
parish,  and  there  he  was  assassinated.  In 
1511  Matthew,  Earl  of  Lennox,  the  Kegent 
ruling  for  his  grandson,  James  VI.,  fell  in 
fight  at  Newhouse,  within  the  bounds  of 
St  Ninians.  In  1746  Prince  Charles 
Edward's  troops  stored  munitions  in  St 
Ninians  Church.  When  compelled  to 
retire,  they  blew  up  the  building,  of  which 
the  tower  only  escaped  destruction.  The 
church  was  rebuilt  hard  by  on  a  new  site, 
where  it  still  stands  apart  from  the  tower. 
This  parish  contained  of  old  four  chapels, 
at  St  Ninian's  Well,  Skeoch,  Cambusbarron, 
and  the  Kirk  o'  Muir.  Near  the  chapel  at 
the  Kirk  o'  Muir  is  the  Priests'  Croft. 
Close  to  Stirling,  but  in  St  Ninians  Parish, 
stood  a  House  of  the  Black  Friars.     At 


Buckieburn,  within  the  bounds,  there  is 
a  mission  chapel.]

THE  ROOD  KIRK— EAST  CHURCH

STIRLING. 

THE   ROOD   KIRK. 

[The  fine  parish  church  of  the  Holy  Rood 
at  Stirling  was  built  in  1500,  to  replace 
the  church  of  St  Modan,  which  had  been 
burned  down.  It  is  about  200  feet  long, 
but  is  sadly  marred  internally  by  a  wall 
which  screens  off  the  western  part  of  the 
building.  A  Second  Charge  was  secured 
for  the  parish  of  Stirling  in  1607.  In  1656 
the  church  was  divided  into  two  parts, 
each  of  which  was  fitted  up  as  a  separate 
place  of  worship.  In  1731  a  Third  Charge 
was  founded.  This  led  to  the  growth  of 
a  third  congregation,  and,  in  1840,  the 
North  Church  was  built  for  the  services  of 
the  Third  Charge. 

There  is  an  early  record  of  a  church  built 
at  Stirling  by  St  Monenna,  but  it  is  not 
likely  that  it  was  a  stone  building.  In 
1463,  when  James  III.  was  King,  the 
Hospital  of  St  James  was  erected  at  the 
Stirling  end  of  the  bridge  over  the  Forth. 
Near  the  bridge,  somewhat  later,  was  built 
a  chapel  of  St  Roque.  In  James  IV. 's  time 
Stirling  acquired  another  hospital,  which 
still  exists.  It  attests  the  munificence  of 
Robert  Spital,  the  King's  tailor.  During 
the  same  reign,  in  1494,  a  house  of  the 
Grey  Friars,  dedicated  to  St  Modan,  was 
established  in  the  town.  King  James  IV. 
lived  much  at  Stirling,  and  it  was  he  who 
set  up  one  of  its  most  notable  foundations, 
that  of  the  Collegiate  Church  of  the 
Chapel  Royal.  It  was  dedicated  to  St 
Mary  and  St  Michael,  and  was  famed  for 
its  elaborate  musical  services.  In  the  part 
of  this  parish  that  lies  on  the  left  bank 
of  the  Forth  stand  the  ruins  of  St  Mary's 
Augustinian  Abbey  of  Cambuskenneth. 
It  was  founded  by  King  David  I.  in  1147, 
and  had  very  wide  possessions.  Within 
its  church  there  were  altars  of  St  Ninian 
and  St  Katherine.  Of  the  Abbey  buildings 
little  now  remains  but  the  church  tower. 
It  is  very  complete.  There  is  also  an 
interesting  monument  erected  by  Queen 
Victoria  to  keep  in  mind  her  ancestors 
James  III.  and  his  Queen,  Margaret  of 
Denmark,  who  lie   buried   in   the  Abbey 


1560 


Church.  There  were  many  altars  and  shrines 
in  the  Rood  Kirk,  and  some  of  their  names 
are  well  known.  These  include  dedications 
to  the  Holy  Trinity,  St  Mary,  St  Michael, 
St  Anne,  St  Andrew,  St  James,  St  John 
the  Baptist,  St  Ninian,  St  Salvator,  St 
Peter,  St  Paul,  St  Laurence,  St  Katherine, 
St  Modan,  St  Cuthbert,  St  Eloi,  St  Sever- 
inus,  and  St  Aubert.  In  the  Rood  Kirk, 
on  the  29th  of  July  1567,  King  James  VI. 
was  crowned,  having  then  attained  the  age 
of  thirteen  months. 

There  were  in  this  parish  Wells  of  St 
Mary,  St  John,  and  St  Thomas.  Stirling 
held  fairs  on  Ascension  Day,  Roodmas 
Day,  and  Our  Lady  Day  in  Harvest.]

17ql  burgh,  parish  of  Mertoun,  Berwick- 
shire, 22nd  June  (bapt.  24th  July) 
1680,  fourth  son  of  Henry  E.,  min.  of 
Chirnside  [of  the  Erskines  of  Shielfield, 
Lauderdale,  a  direct  descendant  of  Robert, 
third  Lord  E.,  who  fell  at  Flodden],  by  his 
second  wife,  Margaret  Halcro ;  educated 
at  Univ.  of  Edinburgh  1693-1702;  M.A. 
(28th  June  1697);  tutor  and  chaplain  at 
Leslie  House,  Fife,  in  the  family  of  John, 
Earl  of  Rothes ;  licen.  by  Presb.  of  Kirk- 
caldy 11th  Feb.  1703 ;  ord.  to  Portmoak 
22nd  Sept.  1703.  He  joined  with  Boston 
and  ten  other  ministers  in  defence  of  the 
Marrow  doctrine,  and  signed  a  Representa- 
tion to  the  General  Assembly,  11th  May 
1721,  against  the  Act  of  1720,  which  had 
condemned  the  Marrow.  For  this  "  the 
twelve  "  were  admonished  by  the  Assembly, 
21st  May  1722.  E.  received  calls  to  Burnt- 
island in  1712,  to  Tulliallan  in  1713,  to 
Kirkcaldy  in  1724,  and  to  Kinross  in  1728, 
but  all  were  refused  by  the  Church  Courts  ; 
called  to  this  charge  28th  April,  trans. 
and  adm.  8th  July  1731.  He  disapproved 
of  an  Act  passed  by  the  Assembly  of  1732 
anent  the  settlement  of  vacant  charges, 
wherein  the  right  of  popular  election  was 
destroyed.  As  retiring  Moderator  of  the 
Synod  of  Stirling,  10th  Oct.  1732,  he 
preached  a  sermon  in  which  he  maintained 
the  invalidity  of  such  an  Act,  as  "  wanting 
the  authority  of  the  Son  of  God."    For  so 


doing  he  was  censured  by  the  Synod.  His 
appeal  to  the  General  Assembly,  14th  May 
1733,  was  dismissed,  that  Court  homologat- 
ing the  action  of  the  Synod  and  further 
rebuking  E.  Against  this,  he  and  three 
associates  [William  Wilson,  Perth,  Alex- 
ander Moncrieff,  Abernethy,  and  James 
Fisher,  Kinclaven]  protested.  The  Assembly, 
through  a  committee,  endeavoured  to  per- 
suade them  to  withdraw  their  Protest,  and 
the  four  ministers  were  given  till  the 
meeting  of  the  August  Commission  to 
make  up  their  minds,  the  Commission 
being  empowered  to  suspend  them  if  they 
refused,  or  to  pronounce  even  a  higher 
censure.  In  August  they  were  suspended, 
and  at  next  Commission,  16th  Nov.,  by 
the  casting  vote  of  the  Moderator  [John 
Gowdie,  D.D.],  a  sentence  virtually  amount- 
ing to  deposition  was  passed  upon  them. 
E.  and  his  friends  thereupon  signed  a  formal 
act  of  secession.  They  met  at  Gairney 
Bridge,  near  Kinross,  where  on  6th  Dec. 
they  constituted  themselves  into  an  Asso- 
ciate Presbytery  with  full  powers.  They 
were  afterwards  joined  by  Erskine's  brother 
Ralph,  min.  of  Dunfermline,  Thomas  Mair, 
min.  of  Orwell,  Thomas  Nairn,  min.  of 
Abbotshall,  and  James  Thomson,  min.  of 
Burntisland.  Between  1734  and  1740 
various  healing  measures  were  suggested, 
all  of  which  were  rejected.  The  obnoxious 
Act  was  declared  no  longer  binding,  and  on 
14th  May  1734  the  Assembly  enjoined  the 
Synod  "to  take  the  case  of  the  seceders 
under  consideration,  and  do  therein  as  shall 
be  found  most  expedient  for  restoring  the 
peace  and  preserving  the  authority  of  the 
Church."  The  sentence  against  them  was 
annulled  2nd  July  1734,  and  the  ministers 
were  restored  to  their  status,  E.  being  re- 
elected Moderator  of  Synod.  Every  overture 
failing,  they  were  finally  deposed  by  the 
Assembly,  15th  May  1740.  E.  preached 
on  the  Abbey  Craig  and  in  the  fields  till 
a  meeting-house  was  erected.  During  the 
Rebellion  of  1745  he  headed  two  companies 
of  Seceders  against  Prince  Charles,  and  was 
thanked  by  the  Duke  of  Cumberland.  On 
the  division  in  the  Associate  Church,  9th 
April  1747,  upon  the  question  of  the 
Burgess  Oath,  E.  adhered  to  the  Burghers

CHAPEL  ROYAL  OF  STIRLING. 

[The  Chapel  Royal  of  Stirling  was 
founded  by  Pope  Alexander  VI.  at  the 
request  of  James  IV.  in  1501  for  the 
support  of  a  Dean,  Prebendaries,  and  other 
officials.    In  1569,  in  place  of  the  Dean  and 


1579 


Prebendaries  came  the  Ministers  of  the 
King's  House.  The  office  of  Dean  was 
revived  by  King  James  VI.  and  annexed 
to  the  Bishopric  of  Galloway  in  1606,  and 
the  Chapel  Royal  transferred  to  Holyrood. 
This  charge  was  disjoined  from  Galloway, 
annexed  to  the  Bishopric  of  Dunblane  16th 
June  1621,  and  ratified  by  Act  of  Parliament 
4th  Aug.  that  year.]

obtained  the  position  of  Master  of 
Novices  at  Bologna,  and  was  employed  in 
various  missions  on  behalf  of  his  Order  in

and  sentenced  to  be  burnt  at  Rome  on 
20th  Aug.  1559,  but  escaped  with  other 
prisoners  during  a  riot  on  the  death  of 
Pope  Paul  IV.  on  19th  Aug.  He  proceeded 
to  Vienna,  where  he  preached  as  a  Domini- 
can, but  his  surrender  having  been  de- 
manded by  the  new  Pope,  he  fled  to 
England  in  1560  and  returned  to  Scot- 
land in  1561.  There  he  preached  (in 
Latin)  in  the  Magdalen  Chapel  in  the

subsequently  did  so,  under  protest  that  he 
"  abhorred  and  distrusted  that  marriage  " ;

DUNBLANE  AND  KILBRIDE. 

[These  parishes  were  united  in  the  six- 
teenth century. 

Dunblane. — From  a  very  early  date  there 
was  at  Dunblane  a  Celtic  abbey  dedicated 
to  St  Blaan.  About  the  middle  of  the 
twelfth  century  King  David  I.  changed 
this  old  foundation  into  a  bishopric.  The 
tower  of  the  church,  though  its  height  has 
since  been  raised,  is  built  after  the  manner 
of  that  time.  It  may  even  perhaps  have 
been  part  of  the  ancient  monastery.  For 
a  while  the  Culdee  monks  were  left  in 
possession,  subject  to  the  Bishop's  authority. 
In  1212  Cormac  MacPhoil  is  named  as  their 
Prior.  As  time  went  on,  the  See  became 
impoverished  and  its  buildings  grew  ruinous. 
To  bring  back  its  prosperity,  the  Pope,  in 
1233,  bestowed  the  bishopric  on  a  man  of 
energy,  an  Italian  Black  Friar.  This  Bishop 
was  canonized  at  a  later  time,  and  is  known 
as  St  Clement  of  Dunblane.  It  was  he  who 
cleared  away  the  ancient  monastery,  keep- 
ing only  the  tower,  and  began,  in  or  about 
1240,  the  erection  of  a  stately  cathedral 
church.  This  good  work  his  successors  in 
the  See  worthily  carried  on.  In  1560  the 
building  was  made  the  church  of  the  parish, 
and  such  it  remains.  For  a  time  in  the 
seventeenth  century  it  served  again  as  a 
cathedral  as  well  as  a  parish  church.  Within 
recent  years,  mainly  through  the  munificence 
of  one  of  the  heritors,  Mrs  David  Wallace 
of  Glassingall,  and  her  family,  the  church 
of  Dunblane  has  been  very  finely  restored. 
Unfortunately,  somewhere  about  the  begin- 
ning of  the  eighteenth  century,  the  stately 
north  and  south  porches  of  the  edifice, 
having  become  ruinous,  were  taken  down. 
Their  restoration  would  very  much  enhance

the  dignity  of  this  beautiful  church.  The 
building  is  over  210  feet  long  and  fully 
50  feet  high.  It  contains  some  fine  ancient 
carved  woodwork.  Fairs  used  to  be  held 
at  Dunblane  on  Whitsunday,  Hallowmas, 
and  St  Lawrence  Day.
